Instant RPM
This MotoHawk™ block returns the instantaneous RPM.
Block ID
motohawk_encoder_instant_rpm
Library
MotoHawk_lib/Encoder Blocks
Description
Instant RPM is the most accurate instantaneous measure. It is calculated using the most recent high resolution measure of the time taken to traverse two encoder teeth. The calculation is performed automatically by the framework when the request is made. It is also cached so that repeat calls do not result in the calculation repeating when its data has not changed. Instant RPM may not report correctly while the encoder is not synchronized.
Block Parameters
