Disc Golf Distance Detective

Resistor 10k ohm

Arduino Nano R3

Push Button Switch, Latching (Push on, Push off)

Alphanumeric LCD, 16 x 2

Hall Effect Sensor

I converted a ball golf pull cart to a disc golf bag carrier cart. I used an Arduino Nano to add distance measuring capabilities. I also plan to add a real time clock, data saving etc. as project progresses.<figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/c5facf83-d356-4140-b88a-9adfb516c03c.jpg /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/f058b909-8019-4eb2-aee0-0137982b6581.jpg /><figcaption>Push Button-Cart Measures distance when activated.</figcaption></figure>It employs a A3144 Hall effect sensor at one of the wheel hubs. 3 magnets were mounted on the hub, separated by 120 degrees. Wheel is 9.25 inches in diameter. This allows resolution of about +- 10 inches, much closer if I manually position wheel when starting measurement.<figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/76b03c75-f3b7-438d-a786-68e215a6079f.jpg /><figcaption>Hall sensor assembly around wheel axel shaft</figcaption></figure>Just starting this, will update and flesh out as project progresses.
