Hello everyone,
I am planning to do a Project in Dynamics 365 Field Service. I want to measure whether a car drives over a pothole. I am going to use MPU 6050 accelerometer to measure this. However I am not sure if this is the right sensor to measure the values…
Sorry this might be a stupid question but I am a newbie to Arduino.
I am grateful for any help. <3
I suspect many accelerometers will be up to this task - the bandwidth and acceleration magnitude aren't
particularly large I suspect. Is the accelerometer mounted to be bodywork rather than the axle though?
That will make quite a difference to the nature of the signal I imagine.
You probably only need the z-axis data, although the other axes might allow discrimination of which
wheel?
Hi MarkT,
thanks for the Reply.
It will be mounted to the bodywork, probably to the Dashboard. I have not thought about where I could fix the sensor in an actual car. I'm just trying to build a prototype first to collect data for the IoT application.
