UVicRocketry / PDP-Monitoring-System

The Propulsion Development Platform (PDP) Monitoring System is a web-based application that allows users to monitor the status of the engine controls and instrumentation. The PDP is a testbed for the development of propulsion systems, and the monitoring system is used to control valve actuation, monitor sensor readings, and record data.

Thrust Load Cell Calibration #15

Closed hToupin closed 1 month ago

Description

Very noisy singal from thrust load cell might need recalibration.

jjderooy commented 1 month ago

This has now been resolved. It is suspected that the boost converter supplying 10V to the pressure transducers was creating a lot of noise that affected other sensors as well (including the load cell). Removing the boost converter, the thrust load cell gives accurate values tested with my body weight with acceptable noise (+-10N or so at idle).
