Overview

This project involved designing a specialized hardware sensor node to detect angular tilt and mechanical displacement in industrial machinery. Built around an integrated accelerometer, micro-controller, PCB trace antenna, and BLE 5.0 connectivity, the compact module captures real-time motion metrics and transmits tilt telemetry wirelessly for predictive maintenance and safety monitoring.

The Goal

The primary objective was to design and manufacture an ultra-compact, low-power hardware sensor board featuring an onboard accelerometer and BLE 5.0 wireless module to accurately measure multi-axis tilt, detect machine instability, and alert operators to structural anomalies in real time.

What We Built

We developed a custom PCB layout integrating a high-precision accelerometer alongside a BLE 5.0 chipset and trace antenna for reliable wireless communication. Embedded firmware was engineered to sample motion data, calculate real-time tilt angles, optimize power consumption, and broadcast low-latency diagnostic alerts over Bluetooth.
