Hi,
I am trying to measure the voltage output of a DC motor that is being turned by a wind turbine in order to calculate the torque generated. However as the turbine rotates the force on the blade is a function of the azimuthal position thus a regular voltmeter is not able to sample the readings in microseconds thus aliasing the profile. So i would like to know how to code an arduino or myRio (preferably arduino) to read the voltage output of the DC motor so I can plot the torque curve as a function of azimuth.
There is already in Arduino IDE a preset code that takes the voltage reference as that of the power supply, however in my case the power supply is not a constant value due to the aforementioned reasons. So please help.
Regards
Thank you in advance!!
