Hello! I have just started to use my arduino and are completely new in programming and building projects with it...
I am planning to create a stopwatch with a conversion algorithm that will convert the clocked time to a distance in nautical miles. It will both show the time and the distance in nautical miles.
Anybody that can help me with some programming and building?
I have a arduino nano, 0.93" OLED and a lot of wires, buttons and so on...
Thank you!!
The relationship between time and distance, is speed. Your algorithm will need 2 of the 3 to determine the other. You can't determine distance from time only, you need the speed too.
Are you planning to measure speed?
yes. I am planning to have a dedicated button where you can push it to select different speed. So before pushing start, you select speed, either 12 knots, 15, 18 or 24 knots, and then push start. So I have then the time and speed. It is also a formula on how to calculate the distance in nautical miles. For example for 12 knots, it is 3 seconds pr 0,01 nautical mile, and 5 minutes pr 1 nm. So I am planing to implant this into the code.
First thing I'd suggest you do, is works through the tutorials here (if you're brand new to Arduino, anyway).
Thank you
