Accelerometer for Angle Measurement EJ20 ECE342-W24

This device will measure the angle of a surface as compared to a flat surface in a safe manner. Additionally, this system will measure the acceleration in the vertical direction. To do this one needs to place the device on a flat surface then press the on switch. The key technologies implemented are the MPU 6050 to take in the acceleration in the x, y, and z direction, the display to show this data, and the Arduino nano to interpret the MPU 6050's data and send the data to the display. The main challenge was finding the right way to interpret the MPU's environmental readings to say what angle the device is. This was also the most notable accomplishment for us as it is what differentiates our devices from the other accelerometer teams' devices. In the future decreasing the size of the device and using a PCB would allow for this device to be more resilient to damage and more practical to use.
