Parts Required:
- Fidget Spinner
- neodyimium magnet(strong)
- Arduino Uno
- LED + resistor 220 Ohm
- Hall-Effect Sensor - a3144
- Single Turn Potentiometer
- Jumper Wires
- Breadboard
- LCD 1602
2: Hall-Effect Sensor
Using Hall-Effect Sensor we can measure the speed of rotation. I used Hall-Effect Sensor - a3144. I use two of it to make it easier to detect
RPM (Revolutions per minute) – the number of revolutions per minute. Revolutions per minute – a unit of measurement of rotational speed: the number of complete rotations made by the body (fidget spinner, wheel etc.) around a fixed axis. Used to describe the speed of rotation of the mechanical components in the mechanisms and machines.
3: How does it work?
To measure the speed of rotation on the Fidget Spinner must be mounted a part of neodyimium magnet that affect the Hall sensor after each complete turn of the Spinner.
4: Indication
The presence of a magnetic field is indicated on the LED. Left and Right LED is keep shinning for some visual imporvement. LED in the middle will only light up when magnet detected by hall-effect sensor.
LCD 1602 indicates current RPM, maximum RPM and tachometr bar (from 0 up to 1260rpm). 1020 rpm is my personal record.
