Tutorial: How to use Tach Button 6x6x6

The tach button is an electronic component used to control rotational speed. Ideal for Arduino projects where measuring RPM (revolutions per minute) without complications is desired.

What you need

• Arduino
• USB Connections
• JST Cable

Steps

1. Connect the tach button to the Arduino digital port using a JST cable.
2. Download and install the necessary library to handle signals from the tach push button.
3. Write a simple sketch that reads impulses from the tach push button and calculates the number of rotations per minute (RPM).
4. Upload the sketch to Arduino.
5. Start serial communication to display real-time data on the Arduino IDE serial monitor.

Example code

// Esempio di codice
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  if (digitalRead(tachPin) == HIGH) {
    // Conta l'impulso e calcola RPM
  }
}

Mini project

Create a small speed control prototype for a DC motor using the tach push button.

Common mistakes

• Incorrectly connect the signals from the tach push button.
• Forget to install the necessary library.
• Incorrectly calculate RPM without considering the frequency of impulses.

Recommended accessories

• Arduino Uno
• DC Motors
• L298N Motor Driver

Frequently asked questions

How can I calibrate the tach push button?
Check the datasheet to find the correct impulse frequency and adjust the read interval in the code.

Does the tach push button work with other microcontrollers besides Arduino?
Yes, but it may be necessary to adapt the code for the specific digital pin of the microcontroller.
