Re: f to the V



ok. thank you everyone who comment on. Yes this is a anemometer setup
which is connected to PC parellel port via ADC.

As one of you said " A standard AC motor doesn't produce AC when you
turn it"
according to the theory, this acts as a generator. ain't it ?
so it must produce some voltage.

Anyway if I replace this idea by "mouse setup" How can i measure the
speed it turns ?

thanks in advance.

hi !

I want to build a wind vane from a low friction AC motor which spins
its rotor to the wind. And I am going to convert the frequency of the
AC motor into respective voltage and fed to the ADC to display the
speed on a PC.
Is their any commercially available "Frequency to Voltage converter"
ICs for this kind of applications ?

bYe 4 NoW.

A standard AC motor doesn't produce AC when you turn it. You can get
small low cost encoders or take an old mouse to pieces.
