Raspberry Pi RPM and Relay Control Code

The document contains a Python script for a Raspberry Pi that implements a tachometer using an IR sensor and an LCD display, along with a relay control system. The script initializes GPIO pins, calculates RPM based on sensor input, and updates the LCD display accordingly. It also includes a switch to control a relay, turning it on or off based on the switch state, with appropriate error handling and cleanup procedures.
