dc.description.abstractThis project focuses on the development of a basic static and dynamic balancing machine using an Arduino micro controller and an ADXL335 accelerometer. The objective is to balance a rotating system running at a given speed by analyzing the accelerometer data, which provides information about the system’s vibration levels. The project encompasses various stages, including preliminary design, detailed design, fabrication, and assembly of the balancing machine. The project begins with the identification of design requirements and specifications for the balancing machine. The preliminary design phase involves selecting appropriate components such as the ADXL335 accelerometer and designing the mechanical structure to support the rotating system. Detailed design entails, the design of the components of the balancing machine, the method of dynamic balancing and the development of the Arduino code to acquire and process accelerometer data, as well as the integration of an intuitive user interface for real-time monitoring. The project emphasizes safety precautions, system integration, and the development of a user interface for real-time monitoring. This project also highlights the different processes under-taken to obtain the preliminary design,detailed design of the balancing machine and ultimately the fabrication and assembly process of the machine. Comprehensively, this project aims to achieve better balance and minimize vibration in a rotating system through the integration of sensor data, algorithmic processing, and real-time feedback.en_US
