Speedometer Project Update 01

More thinking, more plotting, more science since we last left off. I just discovered the AMAZING capabilities of Arduino’s pulseIn() function. I now have a new plan.

loop
     do this 5 times
          if the speed sensor is low
               pulseIn HIGH the speed sensor pin
               write that value to an array
          else
               pulseIn LOW the speed sensor pin
               write that value to an array
      average that array
      calculate a speed from that average
      write that speed to the display
      write a timestamp to the memory card
      write that value to the memory card
      write throttle and brake position to the memory card
      delay 10ms
