Lesson 41: Inferring Tilt From a 3 Axis Accelerometer

This tutorial covers measuring acceleration in three axes using the MPU6050 sensor with the Raspberry Pi Pico W:

• Introduction: Measuring acceleration in X, Y, and Z axes, focusing on Z-axis due to gravity.

• Review of Previous Lesson: Recap of X and Y axes acceleration and homework on Z-axis prediction.

• Z-Axis Acceleration: Explains 1G acceleration in Z-axis when stationary and how tilting affects sensor readings.

• Practical Application: Using the sensor for tilt measurement (pitch and roll) in carpentry, off-roading, and aviation.

• Homework Assignment: Calculate tilt angles (pitch and roll) using sensor data and apply previous math concepts.
