 Program to display RPMsHa ha, one of the now few questions I have....
I'm trying to make a program to display the motor RPMs. This is what I have:
It seems to work, but I think the values are high. ex: Using the MindSensors GlideWheel with a PF-XL motor, it reads an average of 200 RPMs, while Philo states that it is nowhere near 200 RPMs when powered by 9V (I'm using the PF battery box). Am I doing this incorrectly? _________________ A.K.A. inxt-generation Self-proclaimed genius, and future world dominator.

Re: Program to display RPMs I don't know anything about PF-XL motors but 200 RPM isn't really that high. It is only about a little over 3 revolutions a second.

Re: Program to display RPMs
Looking more closely, I now see that I was at the wrong part of the page. I mistook the load characteristics for the free-spinning data. So, my program is fine. It is displaying the RPMs correctly. _________________ A.K.A. inxt-generation Self-proclaimed genius, and future world dominator.
