I can add a gyroscope if needed. This whole thing was to eliminate using an optical shaft encoder in calculating distance. (Removing the shaft encoder reduces cost, vehicle installation etc etc). So if we had a gyro in there which was high enough spec to be useful it may end up costing a similar...
Thanks for the reply. I do understand this.
However, as mentioned this is just an interim measurement. So we can assume that I will know the starting velocity.
For now I am testing on a skateboard-like thing, so I can say that initially there is no movement and distance is zero.
Hi all,
I am currently working on a project and have a problem. I am using a 3 axis accelerometer and attempting to measure distance with it. (Yes, I know, the double integration of doom..)
My problem is not with the integration so to speak but is just with some compensations.
The...
