Aceleraciones y desaceleraciones

Mientras continúo intentando conocer el espacio recorrido por medio de las aceleraciones medidas por el mando de la wii, he encontrado un proyecto que ya intentó esto mismo, pero en su caso "sujetando" el mando a la rueda del robot para hallar el espacio por medio de las rotaciones que daba el mando.

La dirección del proyecto es esta http://wiibotics.blogspot.com/

y su conclusión... esta otra

Conclusions

My original inspiration for working with the wiimote turned out to be a somewhat-solved problem, since many cursor-control scripts have been written to turn the wiimote into a mouse. I had hoped to make it possible to use such control without being bound to a pair of IR hotspots, but I suspect that the wiimote accelerometer alone will never be accurate and sensitive enough to make this feasible.

Although I had high hopes for the Wiimote being realized as a fully-fledged robot, in half a semester, I was only able to bring it up to speed as an alternative solution to a common problem in robotics: measuring wheel rotation. Still, I hope that this will be its proverbial foot in the door; a stepping stone to more widespread and varied uses. Sensing the grade of the road under a car-like vehicle is as simple as mounting a wiimote parallel to the ground and reading the pitch. With that same wiimote we could do bump-sensing by watching for the force along the long axis of the wiimote to rise above a certain threshhold. I have no doubt that many more uses could be found.


Espero que todo el trabajo que llevo llegue a mejor puerto y no termine escribiendo unas conclusiones similares
