Bicycle Speedometer SCADA using the Basic Stamp 2

Bicycle Speedometer SCADA using the Basic Stamp 2

Abstract from Fall 2012 paper. The primary goal of this project is to us the Basic STAMP 2 to measure pulses from the reed sensor, calculate RPM, and store data into external EEPROM.  Aside from the logic functions of the BS2, the entire system must be able to handle rough road travel in cold and wet conditions.  The secondary goal of the project is to indicate memory use by means of a LCD, with values displayed numerically and graphically. As…
