Thanks Gordon, I was able to get better readings from the IMU after using
Puck.accelOn()The application I'm working on is a bit unique. I need to count revolutions of a spindle with the Puck mounted inside the spindle itself. I can't use any external reference source like a magnet or light to count the revolutions. The spindle will spin infrequently, and at varying velocities (think of pulling a length of paper from a roll).
I'm hoping the gyroscope might be a reliable source of data for this application (spinning on the z axis). If I can get the gyro to reliably output scaled values in degrees or revolutions per second, would it just be a matter of dividing the the output by the amount of time that it spun? Or is the math not that simple?
