Accelerometer Demo

[mike478911]

Nice....what microcontroller are U using?

[palmisano]

@mike478911 ATmega644

[mike478911]

@palmisano .....Thanks gotta make my own..

Can I use this for beeper collar? Any ideas how to make one?

[palmisano]

An accelerometer for a beeper collar? Whats a beeper collar? You should ask on my forum . . .

[megaturbogiga]

Type in search "beeper collar"

It makes sond when dog is on point...

[palmisano]

It only measures acceleration. You also want a gyro.

[munish4u911ex]

Yeah sure... why not...? refer the datasheet for the accelerometer MMA7260QT- a Micromachined Accelerometer from Freescale, on page 6 you would find it measures both: static as well as dynamic acceleration.... cheers

thats sick!

It would be cool if someone could incorporate accerlometers into RC helicopters (And possibly pioltless helicopters) so that it always stays level. For example, when it is tilting left, it could make the .. eh.. too confusing. Once I finish with my tank + camera installment project, I'll try to do this.

[icilianfenner]

I believe they do do this - with gyros.

[ArgGrr]

lol.. its measuring gravity, since when you rotate the accelerometer its the most constant acceleration you will pick up.

They haven't programmed something sensitive enough to pick up movement other than that by the look of it.

[mltoob]

Maybe you should watch the whole video before you post a comment. The board is shaken to demonstrate acceleration other than that of gravity. Look for the "Effects of vibration" title.

[wqqerwqvv]

How do you do this? Which devices do you use?

Can i get the circuit diagram

Mfg

[hboy007]

but why is it called "Accelerometer" (= measuring acceleration). Rotation is only the numeric integral over acceleration, that is angular acceleration and deceleration, because angular acceleration is the 2nd time derivative of the angle itself

[palmisano]

Oh I was confused about your last post. What you meant was a plate that stays level to gravity despite movement (so objects do not fall off). I thought you meant something else . . .

[hboy007]

cool... now mount a plate on the pcb and let the servo regulate the tilt of the plate to balance objects on it.. how cool would that be ;)

[palmisano]

but . . . thats not measuring acceleration . . . thats measuring position of the objects wrt the plate . . . requires an entirely different sensor . . .
