Principle of Load Measurement
Capacitance is given by



The capacitance will vary by the variation of space
between the conducting plate due to applied pressure.

The area of the plate and the dielectric constant of the
medium will be constant.

The capacitance is converted into digitalized form by the
IC AD7142 .

Load Sensor Design
Study of all project related papers to start the design.
Specifications :
Local sole material.
Can sheet as conducting layer.
Conducting electrodes of different diameters.
Diameters are 20mm, 30mm and 40mm.
Instant adhesive is used.

Work Carried Out
Relative force distribution on the foot area.
SOLE LOOK
SOLE LOOK
Portable Digital LCR meter is suitable for
higher Capacitance.
Measurement was done by Conventional type
LCR meter.
Sole Capacitance of the order of Pico farad.
Variation 9.6 pf to 5.5 nf.
Screw gauge used for thickness measurement.
Sole thickness 8.792mm.
Conducting plate thickness 0.1475mm.

SCREW GAUGE
Sole is unable to regain its shape
completely.
Conducting plate thickness causing
flexibility problem.
Node formation on the plate during
soldering.

EPDM Rubber suitable for sole material.
Good insulator.
Better shape regaining capability.
Available in different types of thickness.

Thin Aluminum foil is suitable for input layer.
Provides better flexibility.

Conducting glue is suitable instead of soldering wire.

Future work :
Work carried out :
Study of CDC ic AD7142 .
Specifications :
14 Input channels .
High resolution.
On chip calibration.
Variation of load is converted into digital form.


Specifications :
8 bit Philips microcontroller of 8051 series
(P89v51RD2).
Crystal frequency is 11.0592 Mhz.
1024 bytes RAM and 64K bytes ROM.
Three 16-bit timers.
8 interrupt sources.



Work Carried Out :
Program will be written in C-code and
burned using software and burner kit.

Software used are
Keil uvision4
Flash magic
Some demo programs are written and
tested.
It is a cross compiler which converts c-code to hex code.
This software is used to burn Philips ICs.
PROGRAMMAR KIT
