Position calculation of small model of a car using Accelerometer + Gyroscope
问题 I wish to calculate position of a small remote controlled car (relative to starting position). The car moves on a flat surface for example: a room floor. Now, I am using an accelerometer and a gyroscope. To be precise this board --> http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9623 As a first step I just took the accelerometer data in x and y axes (since car moves on a surface) and double integrated the data to get position. The formulae I used were: vel_new = vel_old + ( acc_old + ( (acc_new - acc_old )
