An example on how to determine how many pulses are emitted from your Odometer for every meter travelled.

An example on how to determine how many pulses are emitted from your Odometer for every meter travelled. The output should be supplied to the constructor.

const unsigned short odometerPin   = 2;
const unsigned long pulsesPerMeter = 100;
 
ArduinoRuntime arduinoRuntime;
DirectionlessOdometer odometer{
    arduinoRuntime, odometerPin, []() { odometer.update(); }, pulsesPerMeter
};
 
void setup()
{
    Serial.begin(9600);
}
 
void loop()
{
    // Manually roll the vehicle for one meter
    // and note down the printed out value. That is the
    // correct pulses:centimeters ratio for your odometer
    // that you should use when initializing the odometer
    // in its constructor
    Serial.println(odometer.getDistance());
