Hi everyone, not sure if this is the proper place for this sort of thing, but being that most of you are engineers, you’ve probably been in a similar situation. Any input would be appreciated.
My partner and I are doing an assignment for my data acquisition class in which we are to measure the spin decay of a yo-yo. We have two sensors: a load cell for measuring the impulse of each throw, and a remote optical sensor to get the RPM.
The problem: we used the only load cell available to us: a 50lb load cell. It turns out since the yo-yo is so light, the impulses we got are barely distinguishable from the noise we see in the data. Visually, you can see where the impulses occur, but the actual value has to have quite a bit of error in it due to the amount of noise. Correct?
Is there a way to, mathematically or otherwise, analyze this thing and get meaningful data out of it?
Thanks in advance
