How-to-make-a-stroboscope-using-arduino

Hello friends in this post we will see how to make Stroboscope using arduino. Stroboscope an instrument for studying periodic motion or determining speeds of rotation by shining a bright light at intervals so that a moving or rotating object appears stationary.

A stroboscope, also known as a strobe, is an instrument used to make a cyclically moving object appear to be slow-moving, or stationary. It consists of either a rotating disk with slots or holes or a lamp such as a flashtube which produces brief repetitive flashes of light. Usually,

the rate of the stroboscope is adjustable to different frequencies. When a rotating or vibrating object is observed with the stroboscope at its vibration frequency (or a submultiple of it), it appears stationary. Thus stroboscopes are also used to measure frequency.

CIRCUIT DRAWING

Stroboscopes produce carefully timed pulses of light in order to make a rotating object appear still. While this may seem like something of an exotic concept, YouTuber Mr. Innovative decided to build his own using an Arduino Nano.

His project uses a PN2222A transistor to drive a 10W LED, which acts as the device’s light source. The spinning RPM is set via a potentiometer, and a small OLED provides user feedback.

Let’s do some mathematical calculation

We had designed this circuit for LXML-PWC1-0100 LUXEON LED.

Voltage required to illuminate LED i.e. Vin

V_{in} = V_t + (V_f \times nLED) Here we are using three LED in series, hence number of LED nLED = 3

V_t = 2 V_f = 3.99V (voltage required to powering the single LED)

Now, wee can calculate the Vin voltage

V_{in} = 2 + (3.99 \times 3) = 13.97 \approx 14V So, we required approximately 14V per column.

After calculating required voltage for powering the LED, let’s calculate supply voltage by LM317

CUSTOM PCB

I have design circuit and PCB in easyEDA and ordered PCB from JLCPCB

This is the link of PCB editabl file

Yes PCB are the heart of the electronics based project usually we hesitate to try custom PCB and opt to homemade solutions

like breadboard or Zero PCB earlier I also was in the same boat, I hesitate to try custom PCB my belief was they are much expensive.

but then I came to know about JLCPCB.COM and I was totally surprised how low price PCB's are they offering

there PCB quality is best in market, now I always go with PCB for my project and JLCPCB.COM is my trusted
