Electronics System Overview
The Resistive Torque Measurement Apparatus Electronics Systems utilizes four key subsystems. The Main Electronics provide power distribution to the entire system and holds the main computational board of the Arduino Mega2560 Rev3. Primary Sensing measures the torque across angular displacement of the intruder during operation, the primary deliverable of the RTMA. The Environmental Sensing system provides additional data to characterize the test data received by Primary Sensing. The User Interaction peripherals allow for simple operation of the RTMA as well as in-field data verification.
