Hi, According to plan, I did some basic work to learn more about the Nucleo board and the STM32 Platforms and some basic tests w...
This is a 2 part update, First, the experimenting with the sensor controlling the machine to shut off will be done in a smaller version. I will hook it up to my CNC at home. I will check the different vibrations from the big machines (but we are...
Machine safety Blog #6 I am doing this update because I went out of my comfort zone with programming. Years ago this wouldn't have been such a big deal for myself and I'm sure lots of you reading this could do it in your sleep. For me, I'm kind ...
This is a meandering saga of exploration with the illustrious Kemet Tokin. It is a classic tale of a great plan, that just like any great battle plan, the instant it encounters reality, the time spent was for naught. None the less, the commitm...
Vibration Sensor Demo Below is Arduino code for testing the KEMET vibration sensors sensitivity. I also attached a video of the code running with the sensor attached to a small fan. In the video you can see when I run the fan it picks up the sli...
Hi everyone, this is my first ever design challenge and I am very much excited to take part in this.About me, I am a computer science graduate student who is interested in IoT, Robotics, and embedded systems.In this blog post, I would like to give an...
Hi Everyone, This is an update on my progress with "Experimenting with Vibration Sensors - Machine Safety". I have programmed the board (Arduino Mega 2560) and ready for testing. I decided to go with the Arduino as I am more familiar w...
Experiment 1 (Initial Setup & Tapping Experiment) ObjectiveThis experiment is suitable for beginners. I will walk through how to set up the vibration sensor to: 1. Turn on a red LED when vibration is detected2. Plot a graph on a PC to o...
Hi Everyone,In this blog we are going to see unboxing the new KEMET Vibration sensors with some hands on experiments on it.I received the Sensor along with a couple of Development boards , STM32H743 Nucleo 144 Kit and BLE Nucleo expansion board but f...
My plan is to use the vibration sensor to perform vibration analysis of a motor. Rotating machinery produces vibrations that depend on their structural properties. One important component of rotating machinery are the bearings. Ball bearings produce ...
IntroductionHi everyone! I'm Charlie and I'm going to have some fun with this vibration sensor. The idea is to measure the vibration that is present in the boards of a vehicle, specifically in a vehicle that is designed and assembled in ...
Hi, I am Hardware design Engineer and Hobbyist working on IoT project for Agriculture, industrial robotics and smart Handheld devices. Active member in the Element14 Community. Machinery are common in every place from house to industrial ap...
Sensor hookupI've been reading with interest all the clever solutions to interfacing the tiny connector on the end of the vibration sensor cable. I had also ordered the recommended SMD mating connectors. When I received the connectors...
Experimenting with Vibration Sensors - Machinery Safety (Info) This is just an information blog. For those of you who feel more comfortable with programming the Arduino, here is some information on how to use the Nucleo-H743 with the Arduino IDE...

Background ResearchVibration sensors have extensive applications in predictive maintenance appliactions and have been used in the industry for long enough now. However, not many applications have found ground outside the manufacturing sector. A googl...
Introduction & Unboxing The KitI have just received the Vibration Sensor Kit in the mail! Just in time this weekend for me to experiment my first tests! In the box, we have the vibration sensor itself (VS-BV203-B) bundled with a...
First of all lets start with some facts and what I am wanting to do. We will discuss a few things and learn some more. But I guess I should talk about why I want to do this project in the first place besides the facts below. Just over a y...
Experimenting with Vibration Sensors – Machinery Safety Blog #2 I received the kit yesterday and I have to say, I am impressed. The Kemet Vibration Sensor has a very long cord which will make it easier to set up the experiments. The sensor itse...
I received the vibration sensor and the MCU boards for the challenge and I am starting to evaluate an appropriate method of sensor attachment for my experiments. The included instruction manual from Tokin has quite a bit more detail than the Kem...
Introduction
Sensor technologies of all descriptions have intrigued me throughout my career. I have blogged about approximately 36 different sensor types on element14, but I have never used an industrial vibration sensor. I am really looking forward ...
