Re: Tachometer

here are the specs of the DC to DC
input voltage form out batteries is 76.8V total pack voltage

output voltage is 13.5v at 300 watts

I need to power both the raspberry pi and a DAC.

Re: Tachometer

New problem with this project. Our DC to DC converter outputs 13.5V 22.2Amps. What can I use to step this down to voltage and amperage usable by the raspberry pi B+. Thanks To power the Pi? I just use UBECs which cost a GBP or two. They convert anything in the range 5.5V - 26V to 5V typically at 3-...

Re: Tachometer

were looking at anywhere form 500 rpm - 5000 rpm. The pulses per second should mirror the RPM/60 so for 5000 RPM the pulses per second would be approximately 84 pulses per second

thanks

Tachometer

Hello I'm very new to the Raspberry Pi world. I am part of the auto shop at my high school where we are building a electric motorcycle. We want a tachometer for the motor which will measure the shaft RPM of the motor. I've been looking in to hall effect sensors and they seem to be the easiest to imp...
