Re: Accelerometer use
We have used an accelerometer for the last 3 years to cancel drift on our drive system. I don't know if there is any integration involved, however I believe the we do use a PD loop to get rid of the drift.

We feed a desired value and an incoming offset into the PD loop to get the drive motor correction. I know that there is some calculations that the code does to determine the incoming offset but I don't have the code in front of me.

I'll either look into it or get someone who knows the code better to post sometime soon.
