    This document outlines the design of a tachometer device to measure the rotational speed of a motor. The device has two modules: a sensor module to detect motor speed using infrared, laser, or other sensors; and a display module to calculate and show the speed in revolutions per minute on a display like LCD. The objective is to design an accurate tachometer that measures a wide rpm range at low increments. It will be judged based on technical performance, design compactness, cost, and robustness.

    TACHOMETER

    An Overview of the Problem Statement

    Today everything is about SPEEDSo we decided to make our own device to find out what is faster and to what extent.

    Problem Statement Explanation


    OBJECTIVE : To design a tachometer device that measures the speed (rpm) of a motor. REQUIREMENT : You will have to design two module :

    Sensor module: This module will contain sensors that will detect the speed of the motor. Display module: This module will display speed in rpm on any displaying unit like LCD or a BCD display.

    SENSOR MODULE
    This module will basically measure the speed of motor using different sensors. The sensors may include IR, TSOP, laser transmitters and receivers. Any other sensors may also be used.

    Working of sensor
    TSOP sensors detect 38 KHz modulated light and turn output low. One feasible solution is to have an obstacle like paper, cardboard etc. attached to the motor, keep the TSOP sensor in front of IR led (blinking at 38kHz) and detect output, the speed can then be determined by measuring the frequency of high/low of the TSOP.

    Similar concept can be used for Laser transmitter and receiver, i.e. attached any reflecting paper strip to motor and detect light at each rotation as shown:

    HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
    Hardware provided will be as shown below , you will have to bring your own module to attach to flat surface attached to motor shaft.

    DISPLAY MODULE
    This module will receive data from the sensors and will calculate the speed of motor. The speed will be displayed on any displaying unit like LCD or a BCD display.

    JUDGING CRITERIA
    Task
    Compulsory Tasks
    This would be judges on the basis of accuracy, rpm range, least count etc. parameters. Additional Features (only if basic circuit is complete) Compact Design and robustness Cost of Tachometer 25% 15% 10%

    Weightage
    50%
