Diving Board Load Cell Project
Technologies:
Mechanical Analysis
Load Cells
FEA
Arduino Programming
Project Overview
- Designed and constructed a miniature diving board test stand to evaluate force and deflection under load.
- Integrated a load cell amplifier and Arduino to convert voltage readings into accurate force and strain energy measurements.
- Calibrated the system using known masses and compared theoretical predictions with experimental results.
- Gathered data to help optimize diver performance by correlating load, deflection, and strain energy with the board’s behavior.
