Figure 1 shows a high-level block diagram of a typical IMU. The key components and functional blocks include: FIGURE 1. A typical inertial measurement unit includes an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and ...

If I can find some way to vary acceleration with position, I can calculate the theoretical location of the accelerometer sensor ... Here is a diagram showing the two orientations of the phone.

Here is an introduction to MMA7361, which is a long-familiar 3-Axis Accelerometer Module! This sensor can measure static (earth gravity) or dynamic acceleration in all three axis. Application of the ...
