Velocity sensors
Velocity sensors
The team used this Arduino Code for the Velocity Sensors
To validate the velocity sensors during testing, a high-speed camera with a frame rate of 1200 fps was used. A lined backdrop was made behind the slugs, with each line being 0.0025 meters apart. By recording the test with the high-speed camera, the number of meters the slug travels per frame can be calculated. Multiplying this number by the frame rate of 1200 will give the impact velocity of the slug for the recorded test.

Pressure Sensors
The Pressure Transducers on the Air Tank are from DataQ, and use their attached software and DAQ to produce pressure readings on a connected laptop. The DataQ Transducers and DAQ can be found here.
