Sensed: Accelerometers
An Understanding for Farms, Phones, and Drones
Accelerometers are everywhere, and for good reason! They are both low-cost and low-power and can sense things like motion, impact, and orientation. For the engineer, scientist, or hobbyist, there lies a gap between sensor output and usable information. This book fills that gap.
This book is available in multiple packages!
