Arduino RPM Counter

Arduino RPM Counter / Tachometer Code

Arduino projects, make arduino rpm counter with arduino.   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. Upload this code to your arduino/** 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/* Coded by: arduinoprojects101.com*/

Power Meter using Arduino

Power (Energy) Meter using Arduino

Part 1.  Analog Front-End. Opto-Isolator. Looking at the Power Quality Analyzer display, I was wandering, if there is any error in the measurement results, introduced by transformer. Overall THD picture doesn’t change much, suspiciously drawing same chart in the morning and in the evening, when electrical grid load significantly differs. Obviously, to estimate effect of

Arduino Waveform Generator

Waveform Generator using an Arduino

Waveform generators (also called function generators) are useful for testing and debugging circuits.  I often use them to test the frequency response of electronics components like op amp and sensors.  This waveform generator is powered by an Arduino.  It outputs four waveshapes: sine, triangle, pulse, and saw, each waveshape ranges in frequency from 1Hz-50kHz.  The
