Sensors and Datalogging
I have designed custom dataloggers to measure sensor inputs for a number of laboratory applications. All dataloggers have the option to save the data to an SD memory card, utilize a real-time clock for timing accuracy, and run on a low-power mode to extend battery life.
In each of the following examples, sensors were hand-picked and calibrated to suit the project requirements:
- Humidity inside enclosures during shower simulations
- Barometric pressure inside enclosures during flight simulations
- Button press times during reliability testing
- Water temperature and flow rate leaving a solar-powered water heater
- Acceleration induced by vibration motor tactile alerts
Logging Humidity During Shower Simulations
Test Results
Logging acceleration induced by vibration motor tactile alerts, used to evaluate efficiency of mechanical designs
Barometric pressure measured inside enclosures during flight simulations, used to evaluate speaker failure mode due to pressurization
Water temperature and flow rate measured when leaving a solar-powered water heater to test efficacy and capacity
