RPM_Monitor is a specialized Arduino project designed to accurately measure and monitor the rotational speed (RPM) and angular velocity of a DC motor with a built-in encoder. This tool is ideal for applications in robotics, mechanical engineering, and DIY projects involving motor speed regulation.
- Measures RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) of a DC motor.
- Calculates angular velocity in both radians per second and degrees per second.
- Supports direction detection (forward and reverse).
- Utilizes Arduino interrupts for precise pulse counting.
- Arduino Board (Uno, Mega, etc.)
- DC Motor with Built-in Encoder
- Connecting Wires
- Connect the Encoder:
- Connect the encoder outputs to the specified Arduino interrupt and digital pins.
- Arduino Configuration:
- Ensure your Arduino IDE is set up and the board is connected.
- Code Deployment:
- Upload the provided sketch to your Arduino board.
Once set up, the RPM_Monitor will:
- Continuously measure the number of pulses from the motor encoder.
- Calculate and display the RPM and angular velocity every second.
- Indicate the motor's direction of rotation.
ENC_COUNT_REV: Number of encoder pulses per 360-degree revolution.ENC_IN_RIGHT_AandENC_IN_RIGHT_B: Encoder input pins.right_wheel_pulse(): Interrupt service routine for counting pulses.- Main loop calculates and prints RPM and angular velocity.
