Tracking x y coordinates using GTS

[windell747]

Hi, I've been reading some threads on using accelorometers and gyroscopes and performing integrations to track the x y coordinate of a robot. It seems that by what I see there is some vibration issues and filtering issues related to doing this.

To try to remain as simple as possible I am wishing to use the gear tooth sensors to monitor the position of each wheel to determine the x y coordinate of the robot. I hope to use the difference of wheel travel sensed by each sensor to indicate how far the robot has rotated and traveled in a direction.

Does anyone have any advice as to how I could do this practically? This reminds me of line integrals.

Thanks,
Windell
