speed_detection101

arduino

here's the code for the speed detector.just upload to arduino after doing the circuitry. sen1 is the first sensors .sen2 is the second.led pin is the pin to the RGB led.The seperation between my sensors was 7.5 cms. you can adjust the speedconst variable for the same.

here is the circuit schematic

the wires are a bit jumbled. And use the IR sensors whose link is given in the components section and not the one in the CAD.
