ECE445 Watt Balance Project

Watt Balance

Introduction

This project was my senior design project for the University of Illinois. My group decided on making a Kibble Balance which is a scale that can measure mass based on the new 2019 definition of a kilogram.

Features

  • Custom 3D Printed Balance: Designed for precise measurements.
  • Custom PCB: For accurate measurement and control.
  • Velocity Mode: Calculates the coil constant.
  • Force Mode: Uses the coil constant to measure mass accurately.
  • Manual Estimation: Allows for accurate mass readings.
