NI MyRIO Labview OnBoard Accelerometer Project

What is NI MyRio?

NI myRIO is the power of real-time performance and customisable I/O in the hands of students. With this integrated hardware and software tool, we can quickly create applications on NI myRIO’s real-time processor to take advantage of a default FPGA personality that they can customize as projects become more advanced.

What is your project about?

The basic idea of our method is to use tri-axis gravity acceleration to estimate the posture of NI myRIO. We can get tri-axis acceleration from the accelerometer in NI myRIO. Because the gravity acceleration is low frequency signal, we use a low-pass filter to get tri-axis gravity acceleration of NI myRIO. Based on the tri-axis gravity acceleration of NI myRIO and the standard gravity acceleration in geodetic coordinate system, we can calculate the rotation measurement. The posture of MyRIO can be evaluated based on the rotation measurement.
