In this lesson we show you how to achieve a stable and responsive approximation of tilt (pitch and roll) using a three axis accelerometers and 3 axis gyros, and combining, or fusing the data using a complimentary filter. In effect we are applying a high pass filter to the gyro data, and a low pass filter to the acceleromter. The result is data which is both responsive, not subject to long term drift, and not as susceptible to vibration.

In this lesson we show how we can approximate the pitch and roll of our sensor using the data coming from the gyros. Unlike the accelerometers, the gyros are not as susceptible to noise problems. The issue is, however, that the gyros are susceptible to long term drift.

In this lesson we show how a Low Pass Filter can help remove noise in our tilt signal that result from vibrations. We explore the trade offs in a low pass filter between quickness and stability Adafruit BNO055 IMU Sensor: https://amzn.to/2lbwsnc I strongly suggest picking up an arduino nano, since it can plug directly into the breadboard, making a portable system more practical.

In this video we show how to approximate pitch and roll from a 3-axis accelerometer. This is a simple demo project, and gets reasonable results for angles less than 45 degrees. Also, note that it will misinterpret vibration as tilt, so it should only be used for demonstration purposes.
