Read more here. 3) There will be one pulse in the wave per revolution, I am trying to implement this with how many times that pulse occurs per minute. Thank you for the answer. With some … I figure if I can have back and forth communication to a VFD for example, I will be able to figure out the RPM's using the frequency that the VFD outputs to the DAQ.

Hookup the Vcc and Gnd pin of the hall sensor to Arduino’s 5V and Gnd respectively using jumpers. How to measure Fan RPM with Arduino using hall effect sensor The code for this project which is developed by me uses a newly developed algorithm for this project. I guess my original question is can i have the RPM code in the same While loop to record RPM while the motor is spinning. I was wondering, if the fan are not energized, will it works as an anemometer? The setup for making this project is very simple. If you remember the Arduino WaterFlow Sensor Tutorial we implemented earlier, the main component of the Water Flow Sensor is the Hall Effect IC.. A Hall Effect Sensor works on the principle of, well, Hall Effect. I have attached an image of a shock dyno in case it helps with visualization. Hi everyone, I am having a great deal of difficulty designing the control system for my senior design project. (Read 326 times) previous topic - next topic. About half of those numbers will be near zero and the other half significantly larger. The Hall Effect sensor is a very useful sensor to use in many projects. I have used external pull-up resistor.

Read again the first 2 sentences from Lynn: the suggestion was to have a VFD with a serial (RS232) interface. I am doing all I can to research but making the block diagram is very difficult for me.

Hello,I have one magnet in my fan, how would I change the fan type? A sqaure wave, possibly with some noise and perhaps a modest rise and fall time, depending on the characteristics of the sensor.

When a blade of the fan attached to the motor comes in the path of the laser beam it blocks up the pathway and the reading drops to 0. Topic: RPM Hall effect sensor code inside a While loop for a stepper motor. It had three wires coming out and that ticked me that may be it has some way to control its speed. This is because the obstruction of the path of the laser beam marks a 1/n complete revolution for n number of blades in the fan. { The code shown above would only 'directly' work with a Reed relay, which is not to say that it won't work at all for a hall effect sensor, but that it would provide additional challenges using a hall-effect sensor. 1. I tried to upload the complete program but the forum limits the lines of code that can be posted. Pages: [1] Topic: RPM Hall effect sensor code inside a While loop for a stepper motor. The rest will be applied well, but there is an error during compilation. The load cell's output however is rated in mV/V. Shouldn't your variable "ticks" be declared as a volatile?

Don't use any delay() in the code or you'll be stuck there and don't have active waiting loops on just one event or the others won't be checked. I think the following links are useful for doing this.

2 years ago. Then from there, I think I may have to use a timer to calculate for RPM? The "location" will be an index into the array of numbers. It is doable with an arduino. Thanks for your help,   I guess it is not possible to do with arduino. The serial monitor is reading the rpm and speed however the values are 0 and 0 respectively. Can we see your whole code and on what Arduino platform are you running?

only for soldering wires to motor leads.you can use any other means also. Go Down. Maybe if I used VFD to find RPM this would use up the counter pins on the DAQ rather than the encoder using them to find RPM? Have fun with arduino................................................................... //original code by Crenn from http://thebestcasescenario.com, //original project by Charles Gantt from http://themakersworkbench.com. I did not understand this line of code (line 33: fanspace[3]={{0,1},{1,2},{2,8}}).

I will take your advice and see if I can get it solved tonight. Depending on your fan rating, you can use 3V, 5V or 12V etc. I would like to apply it to wood crusher. With every rotation of rotor, depending on type of fan i.e. Hi, As I found out, this line of code line 33: fanspace[3]={{0,1},{1,2},{2,8}} relates to the definition of three types of fan.

taylordw72. No need to use a DAQ device!

This is standard problem of left padding or leading zeros.

It calculates the RPM of the motor every time the fan blade creates an obstruction in the path of the laser beam. Do these inputs/outputs seem right going into the DAQ?

Two or three hours spent thinking and reading documentation solves most programming problems. You might want to rewrite the whole thing as a state machine. What is the sample rate for the analog to digital conversion? Actually after some google search I have found that there VFDs coming with an encoder (to create a feedeback to the closed loop control of the VFD) and also a serial port, RS232 interface. The normal rpm of the wood crusher is 1800rpm, but when the load is applied during operation, it falls to 1500rpm.

05:09 PM. In other words, how would I determine the minimal voltage that the DAQ can take in and still be read? 3.

Make sure you do not connect such high voltage to any of the pins of LCD or Arduino.

The Arduino can detect this voltage change through its interrupt pin and determine …

05:03 PM Or just use a simple J or K type thermocouple, and buy this from NI: http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/208177, ‎11-15-2016 I am trying to find a quality USB DAQ (on the cheaper side if possible) that can be used for my control system. Suggestions for new projects are welcomed in the comments section. Instead of external resistor, internal pull-up resistor of our arduino board pins can be used. However when a blue/green laser is used these IR radiations get very less and the analog read voltage drops down to approx. This project gives quick intro to-1) Using Interrupts of arduino boards (here arduino Due)2) Interfacing Internal Hall effect sensor of fan with arduino3) Displaying real time information on LCD display (here 16 x 2)4) Implement basic logic in programmingSketch/code shown at the end of the video and in instructables. In the "testing phase", Force (from a load cell in between the shock dyno frame and the shock) vs Velocity is to be plotted so that the shock can be analyzed and tuned. The detector of Hall Sensor placed in the proximity of the shaft (perpendicular to axis of shaft).

depending on what exactly you want to do.good luck. hiin step two I have given link to my video giving details of library and installation procedure.good luck. But I am skipping it here to make is easier for beginners. Stopping the engine so that the engine will not turn off after detecting this.

(And for 4 pin connections fan, the fourth pin is to control the speed of fan using PWM signals. The full scale output of the load cell would be around 3mV/V.

//decrease for faster update. Depending on number of magnets connected, for each 360 degree rotation of rotor, 1,2,4 signals will be generated.

Everyone viewing this must try this project once and share your valuable reviews. I had a question. Considering I am trying to find motor RPM, I think perhaps I can do this with an encoder or VFD rather than fart around with a hall effect sensor.

on Step 3. It has 8 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, 13 digital I/O pins, and a 32 bit counter.

Until then, Stay Safe and enjoy Arduino!! Follow my profile by tapping on this link(https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/YASH36) @YASH36 for some new project updates. Super easy project using an arduino uno to detect speed of various moving objects with the help of a pair of IR sensors and get the speed. I would like the motor to stop when it reaches a desired temperature (this would conclude the warm-up phase). A constant change of path occurs.
