Accelerometer
Acceleration measurement device with MPU6050, and Arduino MKR Zero
I have been working on a device that measures acceleration for various modes of transportation such as vehicles, bikes, and boats. It is currently in the prototype stage and awaiting testing. The device consists of the following components:
- Arduino MKR Zero
- MPU6050 sensor
- LCD screen
- Current stabilization kit based on AMS1117
- SD card
- ABS plastic enclosure
The device works by displaying the current acceleration in m/s^2 on the X and Y axes, along with a bar indicating the axis with the highest measurement (up to 15G). The sensor data is stored on an SD card in the format of time, X, Y, Z for a specific period. To minimize noise levels, a Low Pass filter has been implemented in the software. The LCD screen is connected to the microcontroller (MCU) using a cable, and the MCU itself can be separated from the system as it is placed in slots. Although this, along with the battery slots, has increased the overall volume of the device, it is important to keep the prototype simple and easily adjustable when required.
Feel free to ask any questions or provide feedback.
Thank you!
