RPM_Monitor 🚀

Overview 🌐

RPM_Monitor is a specialized Arduino project designed to accurately measure and monitor the rotational speed (RPM) and angular velocity of a DC motor with a built-in encoder. This tool is ideal for applications in robotics, mechanical engineering, and DIY projects involving motor speed regulation.

Features 🌟

• Measures RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) of a DC motor.
• Calculates angular velocity in both radians per second and degrees per second.
• Supports direction detection (forward and reverse).
• Utilizes Arduino interrupts for precise pulse counting.

Hardware Requirements 🔧

• Arduino Board (Uno, Mega, etc.)
• DC Motor with Built-in Encoder
• Connecting Wires

Setup and Installation 🛠️

1. Connect the Encoder:
   • Connect the encoder outputs to the specified Arduino interrupt and digital pins.
2. Arduino Configuration:
   • Ensure your Arduino IDE is set up and the board is connected.
3. Code Deployment:
   • Upload the provided sketch to your Arduino board.

Usage 🔄

Once set up, the RPM_Monitor will:

• Continuously measure the number of pulses from the motor encoder.
• Calculate and display the RPM and angular velocity every second.
• Indicate the motor's direction of rotation.

Code Explanation 📖

• ENC_COUNT_REV: Number of encoder pulses per 360-degree revolution.
• ENC_IN_RIGHT_A and ENC_IN_RIGHT_B: Encoder input pins.
• right_wheel_pulse(): Interrupt service routine for counting pulses.
• Main loop calculates and prints RPM and angular velocity.
