Best Accelerometer Module for Speed and Tilt Measurement Project?

I am working on a project that will measure and calculate the speed of a moving object and tilt angle

which accelerometer module will be suitable for this project
@PCB & Analog @MCU, MPU & Firmware

  1. wizardb101#0000

    You can use mpu6050 but they are not that reliable, you can try some 6-axis IMUs(smart elec) or BNO55

  2. Francis_Victor#0000

    That a good one you may also want to make sure you calibrate it properly

  3. wizardb101#0000

    Yes the calibration is hectic part

  4. shic#0000

    Few of the ST IMU are also decent with interesting features. I have used LSM6DSOX

  5. Okpara Elvis#0000

    any Video like on this will help sir

  6. wizardb101#0000

    Which imu or sensor will you be using
    Also there are different techniques and algorithm for the same so please mention that so I can help you

  7. JeremyCook#0000

    I suppose it would depend to some extent on your accuracy requirements. The MPU6050 was mentioned, in its defense I suspect there are more examples etc for it than just about anything else, so that might be a vote for choosing it. Also, they’re not too expensive (though not certain how they stack up to others.

    Depending on the situation, you might check out the XIAO nRF2840 board. Tiny and has an MCU built-in. I did a writeup on it here: https://embeddedcomputing.com/technology/open-source/development-kits/seeed-studio-xiao-nrf52840-sense-big-capabilities-in-a-small-package though haven’t really used it since then.
