The plotdat

  1. Use the AAUIMUKIT to collect data from an experiment.

    1. a trip in the lift from top floor to cellar

  2. Convert data to engineering units

  3. See if you can estimate the altitude between top and botom of journey

  4. Maybe apply filtering

  5. more on this later

The real plot

We have carried out a fall experiment

Samplig time 10 msec (100Hz)

Data is in the folder named as dishfall10msec.txt

Src folder list: here

The exercise

  1. Try to use accelerometers and pressure sensors to altitude determination.

  2. Calculate norm for the 3 axis acceleration

  3. Is it freefall or is there a slightly resistance due to air friction

The Arduino code src/sketchbook/mpu606xbmp285rob3no3/mpu606xbmp285rob3no3.ino

A precollected data set is available

See forsoeg2a.html for the elevator experiment.
