Re: Has anyone gotten useful data from the accelerometer?

[quote=
These devices are excellent for measuring tilt and acceleration. They are also very good for calculating velocity. As Watson pointed out, going one integration further to get distance is pushing it somewhat, but all things considered, having more sensors on your robot is better than having no sensors.[/QUOTE]

I have heard poeple do floating point trig calculations, then why can't you do floating point integration calculations?

Wouldn't it be accurate enough?
