Arduino tachometer using a hall effect sensor a3144 to measure rotations from a fan in engineering a tachometer is a useful tool for calculating the rotational motion of a part.
Rpm measurement using hall effect sensor.
It is a device which is used to measure the rpm revolution per minutes of rotating objects like a shafts or wheels etc.
In continuation with my previous instructable rc car that you can find on this linkrc car using infraredi ve decided to upgrade the car with rpm measurement using hall sensor and a neodymium magnet.
This project differ from other projects present around web as it uses a hall effect sensor rather an ir led sensor which means it can be used in any prevailing ambient conditions.
One of the draw backs of this code is that the first measurement of speed is.
Revolutions per minute abbreviated rpm rpm rev min r min is the number of turns in one minute.
To monitor rpm we need to have a feedback or sensor to sense shaft rotation.
The hall effect sensor works on the principle of the hall effect which states that whenever a magnetic field is applied in a direction perpendicular to the flow of electric current in a conductor a potential difference is induced.
In the following steps i ll describe the parts ne.
Hall effect sensor hes works on the principle of interaction of magnetic field with electrons flowing in the conductor and subsequent generation of secondary voltage known as hall voltage.
It is a standard unit of rotational speed or the frequency of rotation around a fixed axis.
This voltage can be used to detect whether the sensor is in the proximity of a magnet or not.
We will be using the hall effect sensor and a magnet to find the number of times the car wheel rotated in a minute the sensor and magnet will be placed in a such a way that at a particular point in every rotation of the wheel the sensor will detect the magnet.
