Convert acceleration to distance values

Posted by Himanshu Agrawal on March 25, 2013 at 7:08am

Hi ,

I am using arduIMU v3 . Can anyone please suggest how to convert acceleration values to corresponding distance values. I tried using basic one d= (ax)*t*t,since i am concerned only with movement in x direction and t as 0.125 seconds coz i record 8 observations per second . But the accuracy of above method varies with speed of operation and many a times becomes completely unacceptable. If possible please do upload a sample Excel file.

Hi, I think nobody has ever gotten location by double integration of acceleration to work with other than very expensive hardware..
