Wireless condition monitor for a motor or pump
Measure vibration and temperature on a motor, send them over Wi-Fi or LoRa and raise an alert when they drift.
The brief
Many small plants only find out a motor is failing when it stops. Build a low-cost monitor with an accelerometer and temperature sensor, send the readings to a dashboard, and raise an alert when vibration or temperature moves away from the machine's normal. Good looks like: a baseline taken from a healthy machine, alert limits that avoid false alarms, and a battery-life estimate.
What you will build
- Mount an accelerometer and temperature sensor
- Sample and send readings to a dashboard
- Record a healthy baseline
- Set alert limits from the baseline
- Test by adding a small imbalance or load
- Estimate battery life
