Hey everyone,
I have spent a good bit of time scouring the board and looking through the posts but haven’t found an answer to my question. This could be due to my lack of knowledge around the subject so if it has been said before i would appreciate being pointed to it.
I work in sports and we do a lot of testing around various measures of isometric strength. I am looking for a way to set up a load cell so that I can get a csv file with tests sampled at 500-1k Hz. I would then use excel or R to calculate impulse, peak force, etc.
My question is what would those here with experience suggest is the best approach to doing this? I have listed below what i purchased to begin the learning process. Any feedback on what to use (python or Arduino or other?) and how to set it up would be greatly appreciated.
