I'm a surgeon, maths and physics study was a long time ago. I have been working on a project using an accelerometer and gyroscope.to.monitor hand movements during practice procedures.
I thought to represent my 3 axis acceleration as a vector and then subtract from this 1g, to compensate for gravity effect.
What I then have is an acceleration vector Avery 20ms, assuming my starting velocity is 0. How may I calculate an approximate distance traveled if that is possible?
Most equations assume a static acceleration. I presume the formula would start with vi as 0 then calculate next vt and distance. That vt then becomes the new vi? Or is there a simpler method looking at area under curve?
I happy with myself for learning Euler's and establishing my accelerometer and gyro complimentary filter. I not sure how to establish this data or if it is possible with what I have?
Thanks for any help.
