I was playing around with a mma7660m and I realized it was a 3 axis tilt-accelerometer. I actually wanted to measure distance traveled by the accelerometer within a certain time interval.
Now there are loads of accelerometers out there, but I really have no idea which I should pick/which is suitable for my needs.
I am also aware that I can use the raw acceleration data from my current model and perform some sort of a double integration and get the data I need, but that seems like a lot of work.
So could anyone please suggest an accelerometer that can be interfaced nicely (some common protocol like I2C would be nice) to a uC and that will provide a slightly more processed form of data that I could use to find the distance moved using?
Thanks !
