Week 9 - Monday




Introduction
            In this era, many of the devise will equip with technology. There are evolution from devise from time to time. For the transportation technology, before the modern era, many of the transportation using an analog speedometer to measure the speed of the vehicle. Unfortunately these devices lag in speed accuracy, are not linear and some are easily not operational due to the mechanical problem. Nowadays, the inventor had created the digital speedometer to give an output more reliable and very accurate. The digital speedometer have been implant in many high-end vehicle such as super bike, luxury car, boat and many more.

System Operation.
            Digital Speedometer system is a system that easy to understand the principle. It will automatically start when the vehicle turn on. An opaque disc ware mounted on the spindle attached to the front wheel of the vehicle. The disc then implant with an infrared LED in line with IR LED, phototransistors mounted. When a hole appears between the IR LED and the phototransistor, the phototransistor conducts. Hence, the voltage at the collector of the phototransistor immediately inverting an input signal ‘low’, and thus output become logic ‘high’. The frequency of the waveform is proportional to the speed.
