Imu with kalman filter

Hello..

I have a project measure the distance that a robot will go(only straight line ). So, we used a mma7361 or any other IMU sensor. I could not find any programming code that helps me to calculate the distance using IMU with kalman filter. I will be so grateful if someone helps me to write the code!!.

Hello noorrashid

Welcome to the worldbest Arduino forum ever.

This is a nice project to get started.

Keep it simple and stupid firstly.
Run some tutorials for the hardware selected.
If you are happy with the results of the tutorials you can merge these to your project.

Have a nice day and enjoy coding in C++.

when using an accelerometer, don't you need to integrate the acceleration to determine velocity and then integrate velocity to determine distance?

no idea why you need a Kalman filter, which i thought was for predicting the future position of a an object being tracked

The is because consumer grade IMUs are too noisy and inaccurate to be used for distance or speed calculations.
