Vibration sensor project – Coming soon.
Overview:
The goal of this project is to use a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and a piezoelectric vibration sensor to monitor the run cycle of a clothes washing machine. The machine run events will be transmitted with WiFi internet to a data base on a web server.
Two types of sensors will be evaluated including one with a ring mass load device attached. The ring mass load sensor, LDTM-028K offers high sensitivity at low frequencies. Tests will be conducted to determine which sensor is more cost effective for the machine monitoring.
