Real Time Predictive Maintenance For Centrifugal Fans On Arduino Nano ESP32 Using Tinyml

3. Sensory Transduction Physics, Noise Suppression and Analog Front-End

Accurate data acquisition in Real Time Predictive Maintenance For Centrifugal Fans On Arduino Nano ESP32 Using Tinyml requires converting physical phenomena into calibrated electrical potentials. The analog signal path utilizes the 12-bit (0-4095 levels) successive-approximation register (SAR) ADC. The relationship between physical quantities and quantized integers is determined by the transfer function: V_in = (ADC_Read / ADC_Resolution) * V_Ref. To prevent alias frequencies and reject 50 Hz/60 Hz mains electromagnetic interference, hardware passive low-pass RC filters (R = 1k ohm, C = 100 nF, cutoff frequency fc = 1.59 kHz) are positioned immediately adjacent to the analog pins. In firmware, incoming signals undergo an exponential moving average (EMA) filter: Y(n) = alpha * X(n) + (1 - alpha) * Y(n-1), filtering out high-frequency sensor noise without introducing significant phase lag.
