Current Works • Research Accelerometers • Accelerometer measures proper acceleration= acceleration relative to freefall • Therefore a stationary object will have an acceleration of +1G in the Z direction • With Planar motion the effect of gravity can be ignored but for 3D motion gravity will effect all acceleration • Need to correct for Gravity as orientation changes • Research Gyroscopes • Should implement Kalman filter to accurately determine orientation • Uses input from accelerometers to check input from gyroscope to determine orientation • Added file output to LabVIEW and began testing integrating input • Ordered Parts for Final 3D version
What’s Next? • Implement a LabVIEW program to track position and orientation in 2D • Resolve bugs current in LabVIEW program • Figure out why random zero values • Sample rate problem • Continue Research on how to accurately determine position using an IMU • begin implementing filters and calibration procedure
