Application of Microcontroller Technology Using Arduino Nano in Automotive Generator Vibration Measurement Devices

Abstract

All of us, when operating vehicles in traffic, want our vehicles to run
smoothly, comfortably, and with minimal noise that could cause discomfort to the
driver as well as those around. Moreover, unusual vibrations and noise during vehicle
operation or from mechanical assemblies are often signs of malfunction, requiring us
to identify the source and intensity of the noise in order to diagnose and repair faults.
This paper discusses the concept of vibrations generated by the alternator, their impact
on the environment and directly on the operator. The software for measuring
automotive alternator vibrations was developed with the aim of studying vibration
characteristics of car alternators and evaluating the reliability of this electrical device.
