## Overview
The TFRPM is a device designed for measuring revolutions per minute (RPM) in UAVs. It connects directly to Pixhawk controllers like CUAV V5+ via a standard I²C connector and is compatible with PX4 firmware.
The TFRPM is designed to measure revolutions per minute (RPM) in UAVs. It connects directly to Pixhawk controllers like CUAV V5+ or Holybro Pixhawk 6X via a [standard I²C connector](https://github.com/pixhawk/Pixhawk-Standards/blob/master/DS-009%20Pixhawk%20Connector%20Standard.pdf) and has the driver in PX4 firmware.

## Specifications

### Features
- **Schmitt Trigger Input**: To shape non-uniform signals from RPM sensing elements.
- **Self-Counting and Memory**: Offloads the flight controller's MCU.
- **LED Indicator**: For input status, optionally visible in daylight.
- **LED Indicator**: Optionally visible in daylight for input status.
- **Protection**: Short circuit protection on the probe connector.
- **I²C Connectors**: Pass-through connectors for daisy-chaining sensors.

Compatible with multiple probe types, including Hall effect and optical probes. See the [TFPROBE01](https://github.com/ThunderFly-aerospace/TFPROBE01) and [TFRPM01 documentation](https://docs.thunderfly.cz/avionics/TFRPM01/) for details.

Thirdparty hall probe sensor could be also used, here is example of suitable generic hall probe with mounting fladge.
