Hi!
I require your help regarding a problem I’m encountering. I am measuring wind speed using hall sensor. In my sketch I get a reading every 20 counts of the magnet goes by the sensor. I need to change it in order to get a reading every 20 seconds. How can I do it with minimum changes to the sketch?
volatile byte revolutions;
float rpmilli;
float speed;
unsigned long timeold=0;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(2), rpm_fun, RISING);
revolutions = 0;
rpmilli = 0;
timeold = 0;
}
void loop()
{
if (revolutions >= 20) {
//Update RPM every 20 counts, increase this for better RPM resolution,
//decrease for faster update
// calculate the revolutions per milli(second)
rpmilli = ((float)revolutions)/(millis()-timeold);
timeold = millis();
revolutions = 0;
// WHEELCIRC = 2 * PI * radius (in meters)
// speed = rpmilli * WHEELCIRC * "milliseconds per hour" / "meters per kilometer"
// simplify the equation to reduce the number of floating point operations
// speed = rpmilli * WHEELCIRC * 3600000 / 1000
// speed = rpmilli * WHEELCIRC * 3600
speed = rpmilli * 0.6597 * 3600;
Serial.print("RPM:");
Serial.print(rpmilli * 60000);
Serial.print(" Speed:");
Serial.print(speed);
Serial.println(" kph");
}
}
void rpm_fun()
{
revolutions++;
}
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
