EENG 383
Lab 15 - Accelerometers
InLab 15
Some self guided
activities.
Lab 15 assignment
Your task is to use the software provided to you in this lab to perform two experiments;
one from the list below and one of your creation.
Defined Experiments
Your Experiment
Design an experiment which
- Must measure some physical phenomena
- Must require at least 512 samples
- Must require some non-trivial post-processing in Excel, Matlab or another programming language.
Turn-in
You may work with a single partner (or alone) to complete this lab. You will turn in a 3-page
document that contains the following on each page. You should plan on attending lab in person
so that you can answer any questions about your custom experiment, or demonstrate it.

Page 2
Your defined experiment. This should be 1 page and include:
- Title of the defined experiment,
- Lab 15 Firmware configuration including FSR setting, DLPF setting, etc...
- Method used to collect data,
- Data presented on a graph with,
- Title, use the name of your defined experiment,
- Labeled vertical axis,
- Vertical axis should be in real-world units, not raw MPU6050 output,
- Labeled horizontal axis,
- Horizontal axis should be in time units, not raw sample number.

- Objective of your experiment,
- Lab 15 Firmware configuration including FSR setting, DLPF setting, etc...
- Method used to collect data,
- An image showing data being collected (optional),
- Data presented on a graph with:
- Title, use the name of your defined experiment,
- Labeled vertical axis,
- Vertical axis should be in real-world units, not raw MPU6050 output,
- Labeled horizontal axis,
