Raspberry Pi Motor Control & RPM Measurement Tutorial

This tutorial demonstrates how to control and measure the speed of a brushless DC motor from the Raspberry Pi using a low cost electronic speed controller.  A TCRT5000 reflection sensor is used to measure RPM, the results are displayed on an I2C 7 segment numeric LED display and a push wheel switch allows user input for throttle control.  All the code, schematics, notes and updates are available on my website:  http://www.rototron.info/raspberry-pi...
