Using two tri-axis accelerometers for rotational measurements
https://www.electronics-lab.com/using-two-tri-axis-accelerometers-rotational-measurements/
App note from Kionix on utilizing 2 linear accelerometers to determine angular rotational rates. In many applications, customers would like to measure rotational motions (angular velocity, angular acceleration) in addition to linear motions. Most often, gyroscopes are added to their end product to obtain the rotational information. In some instances, customers already have a system […]

NXP’s MMA8451QR1 Accelerometer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/nxps-mma8451qr1-accelerometer/
Process computer designs usually start out with an accelerometer. As reliability problems creep in, making the switch to a more “professional” solution is beneficial. Accelerometers are based on the MEMS principle: instead of being a purely solid-state affair, the inside of the chip contains a micromechanical motion sensor along with a small mass. In addition […]
Bosch BMA400 – Did you thought accelerometers couldn’t get any better?
https://www.electronics-lab.com/bosch-bma400-thought-accelerometers-couldnt-get-better/
Accelerometers are used in almost all fields, and they have been growing in popularity in IoT and wearables. Nowadays, those devices require a of energy, and because of this, they need to be constantly charged or batteries need to be constantly changed which causes users to lose interest, or to be limited by this problem. […]
