helped me with porting these data from the tilt sensor into their DynaTIm data sorter. Which could handle the data flow and maintain a graphic user visual towards the parameters. For comparison we also connected the tree to a DynaTIm sensor from RinnTech. This process yielded us with some amazingly accurate values to the degree of 10000th. Even though the millisecond part of the code was a software oriented one and had minor calibration issues, our sensors worked just fine.
They were actually giving out more than 800 results per second. In the above test there was a small range of spike that was generated. To eliminate this I changed the code format. I also added the RAW data from the sensors so we could get the exact data from the sensors …show more content…
Figure 1.6: New Data Format [AB112]
After changing the data format and implementing a Rinntech product called DYNATIM for viewing our graphs, a better result was obtained. This test was conducted over a weekend and here are the results. Figure 1.7 shows the results of the root plate sensor for a weekend duration. We can see it has got 900 thousand values over three nights.
Figure 1.7: Root Plate sensor results [AB112]
The blue graph represents the X axis results while the red, the
Y axis results. We can clearly note that there has been very minimal tilt of about 0.2 degree tilt. This result shows that the tree is stable at the base. I have also made efforts to show the trunk results for the same.
Observations from the trunk sensors yields us with less spikes from the sensor. So my methods to solve the electrical impulses were successful. Figure 1.8 and 1.9 shows us dat over three nights. We can see the tree has had movements of five degree at maximum. These results were collected during a rainy day which has made the tree to tilt more than expected.
Figure 1.10 shows the 3D view of trunk movement which was plotted by me using TeraPlot.
