Implementation of vibration signals receiving unit on Raspberry single-board computers

Abstract

Abstract The paper dedicated to vibration measurement system development on the Raspberry Pi basis. Main features of the solution are low-cost, easy access to components and functionality and flexibility provided by Raspberry Pi usage. Circuit solution and configuring procedures are presented and described. In particular, block diagram of the vibration measurement system with piezo-electric sensors. Two variants of the vibration measurement system, on the Raspberry Pi B+ and Raspberry Pi 3B correspondingly, were implemented and tested as well. In addition, two variants of impedance-matching device were implemented. Conducted and described experiments confirm performance both separate components and the whole solution. Presented results are applicable for correlation leak detectors new algorithmic solutions and in educational process.
