Accelerometer & Gyroscope Data Plotting

Accelerometer and gyroscope has been available for data collection and raw data export on Fitrockr since a long time. We have now added a visual data plotting functionality. 

The accelerometer and gyroscope plot represents a graphical representation of data collected from both an accelerometer and a gyroscope device. 

Accelerometer

– Measures: acceleration along 3 orthogonal axes (x, y and z). Data is recorded at 25Hz. 

– Outputs: Garmin accelerometer sensor has a 10 bits/G resolution. The output to Fitrockr has been converted into milli-g units.

– Purpose: Detects linear motion, including tilt, movement, and vibration.

Gyroscope

– Measures: measures angular velocity along 3 orthogonal axes x, y and z. Data is recorded at 

– Outputs: the unit of measurement is degrees/second.

– Purpose: Detects rotational motion and orientation changes.

Together, these plots give a detailed picture of the device’s movement, both in terms of its path through space (accelerometer) and how it is oriented or spinning (gyroscope).

The new plot has been added to the Fitrockr Standard Reports module.
