Digital Distance Counter with AS5600 Magnetic Encoder and OLED Display

Project Description

This project is a high-precision digital distance counter based on an AS5600 magnetic angle sensor and an SSD1306 OLED display. It is designed to measure the distance traveled by a wheel with a known diameter, converting its rotation into meters, centimeters, millimeters, or inches, feet, and thousandths of an inch (mil).

Main Components

AS5600 Magnetic Encoder (12-bit) – detects the rotation angle of the wheel with high accuracy
OLED SSD1306 128x64 Display – shows the measured distance in real time
Arduino (Uno, Nano, etc.) – the main controller for the system
Wheel with a circumference of 15 cm – attached to the shaft for motion tracking
Two buttons:
- Reset – resets the distance counter
- Mode switch – toggles between metric and imperial unit modes

Key Features

Accurate distance measurement based on the number of ticks read from the encoder
Supports reverse direction: distance increases only when the wheel rotates counterclockwise
Dual display modes:
- Metric system: meters, centimeters, millimeters
- Imperial system: inches, feet + inches, and mil
Mode switch button to toggle unit systems
Reset button to zero the measured distance
High resolution using 12-bit precision from the AS5600 (4096 steps per revolution)
Continuous real-time distance calculation
Clear and structured display: large text for main units, smaller text for subunits
