Vehicle Control System - Need to Integrate

[ozzie88]

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a traction control type system for a school project. I recently purchased a Hitechnic accelerometer sensor and would like to intgrate the output. I'm using Labview to create the code, however, it doesn't appear that there is an integration block available.

Has anyone run into the before? Does anyone have any suggestions how I can integrate the sensor output?

I appreciate your comments.

Thanks

What, exactly, are you trying to use the accelerometer data for? I'm curious.

integrating acceleration once * dt: => speed
integrating acceleration twice * dt: => distance (position)
