Microbit+WeDo 2.0 - Experimentel Setup for Servo Rotational Speed Calculation

Рет қаралды 202

The combined Microbit + WeDo 2.0 construction here, is an experimental setup used for measuring the rotational speed of a microbit controlled servo motor at various power levels. A WeDo 2.0 Distance Sensor detects & counts the passes of a rotating arm directly connected to the servo motor. As the power to the servo is increased in steps of 5, the rotational speed is calculated and both the power & speed values are added to seperate tables, as shown in the video. The algorithm used is also shown at the end of the video.
Enjoy & be inspired!

Hi Spiros Trak! It is good to see you here as well as in real life!

Cool! I would like to use this to find out the difference in speed between a full battery and a battery that's almost empty. May I ask which coding editor you're using? It looks like Scratch, but in Scratch you can't use all the pins of the micro:bit and power servomotors with the micro:bit.

Dear @pinkypepper. The programming environment is called "Mind+" (mindplus.cc) and it is a derivative app of "Scratch 3.0", (that is why it looks so familiar) but with many more enhancements. For example it allows you to use the full range of the pins of a microbit (as you well noticed), it allows to use a webcamera in any USB port you care to connect it, etc...

Thanks! Looks very interesting.Thanks for sharing the link!
