How to use STEVAL-MKI208V1K to collect vibration data of bearings?

HUANG2 · ‎2026-05-12

If I use STEVAL-MKI208V1K to collect vibration data of bearings, do I just need to fix this board on the bearing where I want to take data?
Thanks

I take lots of accelerometer measurements in lots of different places, if there is a chance of differential movement from the bearing I would stick it down. A picture or sketch would help.

Some of our people fix and some don't.

STEVAL-MKI208V1K is just a bare board - so not suitable for permanent mounting, and/or use in an unprotected environment!

Obviously, it will need to be mechanically attached so that the vibration of the bearing will be "felt" by the sensor!

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
