There is always a need for automating a process,be it a simple/monstrous one.I got the idea to do this project from a simple challenge that i faced while finding methods to water/irrigate our small piece of land.The problem of no current supply lines and costly generators (to operate our pump) added to the difficulty. So
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*/
