ok, Don't know if this is the right forum, but I'd like some help with this I'm making a project that needs to read acceleration in any direction. I have a 3 axis accelerometer, who's orientation is random, unknown, and changing. So my question is, is it possible to read 2 forces of...

Well, it starts off at 0kph, and accelerates until 50 feet have been passed... At this point I'm done collecting data. I would assume that speed would be no more then 40-50kph, over maybe 5 seconds...

ok, I'll give that a shot then, though in the case it proves to be too inaccurate, what information about noise is needed? and how would one obtain such information? Also, since you'd have more of an idea on how such things work, would this be feasible for measuring 50 feet +-1.5 feet...

yes, but would that take into account the sensor noise?

Ok, First of all I admit to being a complete and utter noob at Math... That said, I need some serious help :P I'm working on a project that will need to estimate a position along a single axis based solely on the fact of 0 inital velocity, and a noisy acceleration value. As far as I can...

ok, maybe forget the whole trying to find position... how about just the raw acceleration value? (IE my first problem)

Ok, Not sure which forum this would fall under, so if it's the wrong one feel free to move it. I'm currently involved in a project that involved measuring acceleration from a 3 axis accelerometer using a PIC microcontroller. And I only have high school physics. :cry: I have 2 problems I...
