    Hitesh Singh
    This document describes the design of a contactless tachometer using an Arduino. It discusses different types of tachometers, compares analog and digital tachometers, and describes the components used - Arduino UNO, infrared sensor, LCD display, jumper wires and breadboard. It explains the circuit connections and operation, where the infrared sensor detects the speed of a rotating object and sends pulses to the Arduino, which calculates and displays the revolutions per minute on the LCD screen. The contactless tachometer can measure speeds without direct contact and can be used to measure speeds of motors, wheels and shafts.

    INTRODUCTION
     Tachometer is used for measuring rotational speed
     Can be used to measure speed of a rotating shaft

    Types of Tachometer:

     On the basis of data acquisition – contact or non contact


    types
     On the basis of the measurement technique – time based or
    frequency based technique of measurement
     They can also be classified as analog or digital type
    Comparison Between Analog and
    Digital Tachometers

    Analog Tachometer Digital Tachometer


     Has a needle and dial  Has a LCD or LED

    type of interface readout


     No provision for  Memory is provided

    storage of readings for storage


     Cannot compute  Can perform

    average, deviation, statistical functions


    etc like averaging, etc
    Digital Tachometers
    Classification Based on Data
    Acquisition Technique

     Contact type – The wheel of the tachometer needs


    to be brought into contact with the rotating object

     Non Contact type – The measurement can be made


    without having to attach the tachometer to the
    rotating object
    Classification Based on Measurement
    Technique

     Time Measurement – The tachometer calculates


    speed by measuring the time interval between
    the incoming pulses
     Frequency Measurement – The tachometer
    calculates speed by measuring the frequency of
    the incoming pulses
    Component Used
    Arduino UNO
     ARDUINO UNO is a development board based on
    microcontroller Atmega328.
     It has
     14 Digital Input/Output,
     6 analog Input/Output,
     16MHz ceramic resonator,
     USB connection,
     8a power jack,
     ICSP header and a reset button.
     It has 32KB of memory.
    InfraRed Sensor
     Used to detect objects and obstacles in front of sensor.
     Sensor keeps transmitting infrared light and when any object
    comes near, it is detected by the sensor by monitoring the
    reflected light from the object.
     It can be used in
     robots for obstacle avoidance & line follower robot,
     for automatic doors, or contact less tachometer by
    measuring RPM of rotation objects like fan blades.

     Power Supply : 5V DC Power
    Consumption: 50mA max
     Detection range 20 cm
     Operation range varies according to
    color of the object, light color has more
    range.
     Detection Indicator LED
     Digital output. Active with logic “1”
     Dimensions : 41x27 mm
    LCD Display
     LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen is
    an electronic display module
     16x2 LCD means it can display 16
    characters per line and there are 2
    such lines.
     In this LCD each character is displayed
    in 5x7 pixel matrix.
     Alphanumeric LCD display module,
    meaning can display alphabets and
    numbers

     It can also display any custom generated characters
     Available in Green and Blue Backlight
    Jumper Wires
     Simply wires that have connector pins at
    each end,
     used to connect two points to each
    other without soldering.
     Jumper wires are typically used
    with breadboards.
    Breadboard
     It is a solderless device for temporary
    prototype with electronics and test circuit
    designs.
     Most electronic components in electronic
    circuits can be interconnected by inserting
    their leads or terminals into the holes and
    then making connections through wires where
    appropriate.
     The breadboard has strips of metal
    underneath the board and connect the holes
    on the top of the board.
    CIRCUIT CONNECTIONS
    Circuit Operation
     When the IR sensor is powered, the IR transmitter starts emitting IR rays.
     As the motor shaft rotates such that the white spots comes in contact with the
    sensor, the IR rays are reflected by the dot and falls on the IR receiver.
     The photo diode, which is used as the IR receiver, starts conducting whenever
    the IR rays are reflected.
     At this point, the output of the IR sensor is given to the comparator and the
    output of the comparator is HIGH when the IR rays are reflected and the
    output of the comparator is LOW when there are no reflections. Hence, the
    output of the comparator is in the form of an ON-OFF pulse.
     This pulse is given to the microcontroller as a timer input and the
    microcontroller is programmed to calculate the number of times the motor
    rotates in a second.
     The speed of the motor is calculated by multiplying the value of final count by
    60 to get the speed in revolutions per minute
     This value is then displayed on the 16*2 LCD display
    Application of the Circuit
     The Contactless Digital Tachometer circuit can be used
    to calculate speed of rotating wheels, discs and motor
    shafts.
     Can be used at places where direct contact with motor
    shafts or wheels is not possible to be made, as in case of
    vehicles and also in industrial machines.
     This circuit can be used at homes to check speed of small
    battery operated fans and other motor based devices.
    Limitations
     The ICs used in this circuit are CMOS devices and are
    highly static, making it impossible to touch them with
    bare hands.
     It has limited life time due to use of battery for powering
    the circuit.
     Speed calculation may be affected by the varying duty
    cycle of the timer.
