Can you get displacement from an accelerometer?
Figure 5 presents a general formula for displacement. Displacement or position measurement can be yielded directly from accelerometer output, at each interval, over time. Thus displacement is accumulative and any offset error is additive.
How do you convert acceleration to displacement?
Displacement (s) of an object equals, velocity (u) times time (t), plus ½ times acceleration (a) times time squared (t2). Use standard gravity, a = 9.80665 m/s2, for equations involving the Earth's gravitational force as the acceleration rate of an object.
