Hello, There is a wristband project I am working on and I am using the MPU6050 acceleration sensor in my project. I am working with Arduino Nano as a processor. However, I could not find how to convert the x, y, z data I received from MPU6050 via Arduino Nano into something meaningful. I ask for your help in this matter. I plan to take x, y, z data via Nano, transfer it to node-red and process it there. I am waiting for your return as soon as possible. Thank you from now.
The MPU6050 measures acceleration and rate of rotation, each along the X, Y and Z axes.
Those are meaningful measurements. The MPU6050 data sheet informs you how to convert the raw numbers to ordinary units of acceleration, or degrees per second.
I couldn't figure out how to convert the x, y, z vectors I received into acceleration. Do you have any ideas on how I can additionally determine whether a step is being taken or not?
I just connected the mpu6050 to the Arduino nano and ran the appropriate code and got the x y z values. Believe me, I don't understand what to do at this stage and I have no knowledge, but I need to make this project work in a short time. Can you inform me about the subject in more detail, step by step? It can also be an example calculation. I would be very happy if you are available.
What do you want to do? What is the purpose of this project?
Hint: an accelerometer measures the acceleration due to gravity, as well as the acceleration due to other forces. So, any vertical axis will report the equivalent of 1 g, when the sensor is held still.
The project is simply a smart bracelet project. With MPU6050, I want to be able to count the steps whether it moves or not, thanks to its accelerometer. For example, since the position of the bracelet will change while walking, it will detect movement and count your steps. When it stops, I will understand it and act accordingly. I also want to connect it to Node.
Google "mpu6050 step counter" to find examples.
Thank u for your all help.
