Curious if Arduino can do this:

Projects General Guidance

I would like to program an Arduino to monitor and record vibration data on a motor. Basically I'd like to be able to have a stand alone sensor that can record the vibration/acceleration data on a motor and then analyze it later. If that isnt possible, I'd like to see if I can run a cat5 cable to it and monitor from elsewhere or what other options would be.

I don't know ANYTHING about what I'm trying to do, but I'm willing to learn. I've played around with the Arduino kits when I was younger, but nothing since. Any advice would be appreciated and I'd also be willing to compensate someone to actually take some time to teach me how to do this (very serious).

Arduinos excell at data logging. Your main problem is finding the appropriate sensor.

IEPE sensors are what my search is pointing to. What other requirements should I look into?

Find the right one! There are some 20 different "Arduinos".

You can probably catch on to all you need, and do not need to hire,but if you have more money than time...

I don't have any answers, just questions you might wanna ask yourself:

What type of data? Frequency, amplitude? Since it's a motor, maybe temperature, current?

Hi, @baketrab
Welcome to the forum.

This may help, some info on interfaces and the sample and bandwidth parameters.
