Medidor RPM Con Arduino

This document provides instructions to build an Arduino RPM counter using an IR LED, IR phototransistor, and LCD display. It includes a parts list and wiring diagram. The code attached to the Arduino calculates RPM by counting interrupts from the phototransistor each time the IR beam is broken, and displays it on the LCD screen. It can be modified to suit different propeller configurations.

Arduino projects, make arduino rpm counter with arduino.

Parts List;
1) 1x 162 parallel LCD display (compatible with Hitachi HD44780 driver)
2) 1x Arduino
3) 1x 10k potentiometer
4) 1x 10k resistor
5) 1x IR LED
6) 1x IR Phototransistor
7) Jumper wire
Instruction;
1) Connect all jumper wire as shown in diagram.

2) Connect IR LED to digital pin 13.


3) Connect IR Phototransistor (dark) to digital pin 2. Make sure shorter lead
connected to digital pin 2 and longer lead to Ground.

/*
* Optical Tachometer
*
* Uses an IR LED and IR phototransistor to implement an optical tachometer.
* The IR LED is connected to pin 13 and ran continually.
* Pin 2 (interrupt 0) is connected across the IR detector.
*
* Code based on: www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Based-Optical-Tachometer/

//Note that this would be 60*1000/(millis() - timeold)*rpmcount if the interrupt
//happened once per revolution instead of twice. Other multiples could be
used
//for multi-bladed propellers or fans

//Print out result to lcd

attachInterrupt(0, rpm_fun, FALLING);
}
Note:
This code reading rpm with 2 propeller at the motor. This mean 2 cut of the
infrared beam will count as 1 revolution. You can modify this line to suit your
use;
rpm = 30*1000/(millis() timeold)*rpmcount;
