What you'll learn
The Advance Odometer System course is a practical electronics and embedded systems program designed to teach learners how to develop a digital system for measuring distance, wheel rotation, speed, and travel data. The course combines sensors, encoders, microcontrollers, programming, digital displays, data storage, and calibration techniques.
Students learn how wheel rotation can be detected using sensors such as Hall-effect sensors, IR sensors, or encoders and converted into useful distance and speed information. The course includes hands-on activities for building digital odometers, measuring RPM, displaying real-time data, storing readings, and improving measurement accuracy.
