resulting from tilt, motion, positioning, shock, and vibration.

• Capable of single, dual, or triple axis sensing capability with

range from 1.5g to 250g

• An accelerometer measures linear acceleration plus gravity

− An accelerometer by itself is a “3 axis” system

Accelerometer plus magnetometer can provide device orientation and magnetic heading. A

magnetometer can also be used as a “virtual” gyro in certain situations (magnetically clean and stable

environment).

Major weakness of this sensor pair is its sensitivity to linear acceleration, which leads to errors in both

orientation and heading.

Accelerometer + Gyroscopes Fused Data Accelerometer can help stabilize the drift in the gyroscope output data

Rotation and linear acceleration can be separated

Major weakness of this pair is the lack of an absolute heading reference

Accelerometer + Gyroscope + Magnetometer Fused Data This combination of sensors can overcome the inherent limitations of each of the previous

sensor pairings as their error sources (deficiencies) complement each other.

This combination of sensors further improves on the previous pair with the addition of

elevation. This is essential for use within buildings to sense the floor you are on. The

pressure sensor can also be used to enable weather prediction.
