How to Calibrate an Accelerometer
I present a general procedure for calibrating accelerometer sensors using my quadcopter flight controller as an example. This procedure will work for any accelerometer sensor, as long as you can read raw measurements over a serial connection. See the resources below to download required software. Happy calibrating!

Hi guys! This is the first video in my series about how I am developing a quadcopter flight computer. I'll show you my mission statement, which outlines the purpose and goals for the project. Then, I'll talk about how I decomposed my drone into systems and subsystems and briefly describe each of them. In the next few videos, I'll describe how I selected my sensors and flight computer, and give ...
Im just concerned about the libraries, and soldering. Can anybody direct me to the software and code they used to test the roll and pitch.
As you've done here, initializing at rest to 1g, is that value corrected to zero or is it offset in your program by minus 1g?
Very good work! May I ask you why in fig. 3 at min. 16:47 the uncalibrated data (projected on the plane XY) are less "stretched" than the ones you have shown previously? Is it just a visual effect or you maybe have compensated just the soft iron first and we can only see the offset given by HI? Keep up the good work!
Congrats !! Thanks for informative video. Why don't you continue this series with comparing MPU6050? I think, it'll be good for us :)
3 years later and it's still useful AF. Thanks a lot. Doing God's work man
8:41 and no bn880?
4:59 how about the aht21? Temp is more accurate.....
Bme280 does 1°C the aht21 does 1°F
Good tutorial, the best i found>33
Nice video ! In 8:30 , why is A said to be symmetric? I mean, it could be not necessarily symmetric right? Is there a physical reason to impose that constraint to A?
Can anyone confirm if he is alive or not? One of my brothers telling me that he passed away. It feels so sad. He had helped me in so many ways. I wish him all the best wishes wherever he is now.
I just started an esp32 drone project. Does this calibration process eliminate the need for a kalmen filter. I have so many questions😂 I'll watch the video again when I get Home. I have. A short video clip of my project
How can I get these values while device is moving? Can you make the video of complex part you've mentioned?
Hi bro, nice video. One question... did you test the pitch angles with a protractor or something to verify accuracy? Thanks a lot for sharing your work =)
This is some amazing content! Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Just to make sure, Allan Deviation plots are used to make sure your sensor have Gaussian noise?
Will this work for MPU6050 and will this code be possible to write in C or C++ (for arduino)?
what if i am using arduino mega, is the code still need to be changed or is the same ?but the acceleromater i use is HW-579a
Just excellent, please make a deepdive playlist on IMUs ,Filters and Sensor Fusion
I love this video. Thank you.
why cannot use Accelerometer to measure yaw angle ?
Could you please let me know how to calculate the roll, pitch angles in body-axis using rate gyros of IMU data?
Thank you. Why you haven't considered yaw angle?
nice explanation! I'm creating a garmin watch app to detect pool laps as a swimmer flips off the wall... using gyro and accel.. this helps!
Thanks. It was great😊✌️
Yeah, BIG bada BOOM!
Great✌️😍
I learned so much more from your video than from all the other websites and videos I've seen in the last month. thank you so much for making this concept a lot easier😍
Hey Michael. Great content ! I have a doubt. At 10:03, You did not explaini why you did 0.026*60? Why multiply by 60? Is there any mathematical or empirical significance to it? Or is it just that moving robot might incur more noise and bias for IMU than when calculated for steady IMU?
This is what I was looking for! Thanks a lot man; Really nice explanation for beginners like me.🙂
Your explanations are great. I really enjoy it. I hope you continue to put out new videos.
Breathe man! Talk slower, and breathe. Awesome video BTW.
Exactly the topic I was trying to learn, but didn't quite understand.
Its misleading and incorrect to state that the integration of uncompensated gyro bias to angle as "gyro drift". If the gyro bias is not varying, its technically NOT drifting at all. Its better to refer the integration error as heading errors.
Had a doubt... All the analysis performed in the video are for stationary frame. In an accelerating frame, can the IMU be used to measure orientation, since there will be contribution of acceleration in the readings.
Hello, no article related to this method ?
Very nice video. Thank you. Using this for my project.
Repo with code is not available
Wow A new learning language curve. 📜 Thanks.
very good explanation. It was extremely helpful for me, a beginner trying to select a IMU for my project
Hello Michael. Say me please, how compensation centrifugal force?
How calibration gyro? Could you say please.
very underrated!
I’ve been working on a project for a few months now and your videos have always been so useful. Thank you! It would also be really helpful if you made a video on Kalman and other forms of filtration.
Very clear expressions, thanks!
hello and thank you for this great tutorial! the code link does not seem to be working, can you share a new link please?
Hi to everybody! I'm trying to solve this problem with an IMU mounted in an autonomous vehicle. How can I calibrate the sensor in this case, that is fixed on the vehicle's chassis? I know that the bias vary also with the temperature and I want to write a procedure to recompute the acceleration bias every time the car stopped during its motion; I think that also this is a well know problem. I can change a little bit the roll and pitch of the car driving in a multi-level car park, but is it enough with the proposed model? I don't use directly my EKF filter to estimate the bias. I tried to use a very similar model: acc_body = R(roll)R(pitch)R(yaw)G_i eq. 1 where acc_body = (true_acc + bias + noise) G_i = [0, 0, 9.81]^t is the gravity vector described respect to my inertial reference frame R(..) = is the rotation matrix to rotate a vector around a reference axis My inertial reference frame is FLU (Front, Left, Up). but even if the vehicle is not moving, I don't know exactly how the gravity vector is redistributed on the three body frame axes, even if the ground is perfectly flat because I do not know the attitude or the amount of bias. Does someone have any suggestions or articles to read? Thanks Ale
Makes sense. Moderns gyros are oscillators that are sensitive to angular motion/acceleration :)
I will u make more videos.....very interesting content
Thank you for the informative video! I learned a lot from it and appreciate the valuable content you shared. Keep up the great work! can you please share your gyro-data file ,i wanted to try it myself
Nice to have those visualizations to understand calibration.
I wonder about your programming time to plot a allan deviation. My way is too long. Thanks for your sharing!
very simple calibration and quite accurate - ofsetX =(readX_max + readX_min) / 2 ; ofsetY =(readY_max + readY_min) / 2 ; //calibration correction of measurement data Yread =danaY - ofsetY; Xread =danaX - ofsetX;
