 The true beauty is, no matter what the game (Yes, even 2001), we spend these 6 weeks going crazy with design strategy, and trying to figure out a way to work the plot twists that the GDC throws at us...and its a blast. - Andy Grady [more] |

Re: Any sucess using a accelerometer to measure distance
In general I'd take a look at the examples - there are several for accelerometers. But if I were measuring distance, I'm not sure I'd pick an accelerometer. Once you get good acceleration readings, you would then have to integrate once over time to get velocity, and then integrate velocity over time to get distance. That works great in physics class, but is a bit tricky in the real world. Have you considered using an encoder for measuring distance?
Early on we did some testing with accelerometers - it was difficult to simply measure velocity, let alone distance.
