2.7.3 Mounting the accelerometer


When we deal with the accelerometer the most important thing to
take in consideration is the orientation and position of the
accelerometer .

We must choose normal mode or normal position to mounting the
accelerometer on it.

we take the decision that the normal mode occurs when the notch
of the chip of the MPU-6050 module at top left and the surface of
the sensor is parallel to the earth surface and perpendicular to the
direction of gravity of the earth.

From this point we start to compute the change in orientation.

Please note that in the previous figure the photo is very large compared to real size of the chip which equal about 4 mm by 4 mm .
