Re: Measuring RPM for a Free-Spinning CIM
We used a photo sensor and a piece of retro reflective tape that is pretty darn accurate, we have it so that we don't shoot in autonomous until it speeds up, then when it senses a sudden drop it waits until it speeds up again, then coasts down when it senses the next Frisbee. It also lets us detect jams, and stop the motor to prevent fried motors.
