WEEK 15

For this week, we are required to create a new program in order to determine the speed the SunSPEC 4 will be travelling at. This is due to the motor controller's output being restricted to a pulse output, as compared to the SunSPEC 3's motor controller, being able to output a voltage as well as a pulse output. As a result, the previous program that we had for speed measurement now need to be replaced with a new program.

Through researching on the internet, we found various codes that we would be able to use after some adjustments. The program below shows of a program we tried to implement into our system

Due to various time constraints, we are unable to test the program to see the effectiveness. In the next week, we would try to test the program and troubleshoot any problems we might encounter.
