The accelerometer embedded in the micro:bit has its own series of functions that can be used to query the position of the board in space.

One of the most common transducers used in automotive tests is the accelerometer; it measures forces as well as the amount of vibration experienced by components and systems. Like all things analog, ...

A piezoelectric accelerometer is a device that measures the vibration — or small reciprocating accelerations — of a structure. Learn when and where to use these highly specialized ...

Accelerometers make for nice user interaction, that’s why every Apple product seems to have one included and the Nintendo Wii is still alive despite its underpowered graphics capabilities. Ad… ...

This article discusses how to improve tilt measurement accuracy using an accelerometer like a combo part. Electric park brakes (EPBs) are used on passenger vehicles to hold the vehicle stationary on ...

Many applications that make use of accelerometer feedback -- more commonly referred to as motion control -- have an option to balance or calibrate the sensors for a more accurate response.

This is rather interesting. As you may know, most hard drives include accelerometers for the purpose of determining the drive's orientation and movement, so that (presumably) the drive head can ...

In Part 1, we broke down how smartwatches gather data through sensors like optical heart rate monitors, GPS, and accelerometers. Now, in Part 2, we’re diving i ...

iSuppli reports that accelerometers are expected to appear in one-third of mobile phones shipped next year, due to their inclusion in the popular iPhone and Palm Pre handsets.The iPhone's ...
