Arduino + Accelerometer: Tilt Detection

[defJayyy]

does this work with a lilypad accelerometer?

[arminask]

would it be easy to make the light intensity transfer between leds smoothly. Coz that would make your creation really cool!

Please sir can you post the code for this project.. i need it for my senior project please...

Thanks in advance....

@eliott82 check the info for the link

Thanks for uploading the video and the code. Just out of curiosity, how do you determine which pin corresponded to the input of the arduino board. I, also, am trying to do this for a design project

Thanks in advance.

The code I was referring to was :

int forwardPin = 9;

int backPin = 10;

int leftPin = 11;

int rightPin = 12;

int centerPin = 8;

Tsk tsk... if you're already on your senior project, you should be able to do this simple code by yourself.

@cKlutcHJ21

LOL... It was so easy you r right... I got an A+ on it :) Thank you.

Have you posted your code anywhere? I was doing a similar experiment and would like to know if you came across any non-linearities from the accelerometer. Were you able to output an accurate tilting angle?

[Kosha2905]

@confusedntwisted Nah, it was nothing that complex. No filtering or conversion to degrees - just a couple of if statements. The code's linked to in the video's info if you want to see it

@Kosha2905 Thank you for your courtesy. I have since completed what I needed. If you get bored it can be seen in my videos.

Kindest regards

what the acclerometer be digital or analog output?

[Kosha2905]

@dodgedart74 analog - it's the adxl335

[Kosha2905]

yes it is MIT

[secretasianman27]

MIT, really

This is cool ! What algorithm did you use to detect the direction of the tilt? Looks very neat.
