i need a way to find a objects position and rotation?

Former Member

hi

i am a student looking for a way to find a objects x y and z and send this information to the pc

i have tried using an accelerometer but it can only tell me the rotation and i nedd to know how much the object is moving without using a caamera

    Hi Nicolas,

     

    Can you give us more information about why you need to find the objects?

    If you are not using a camera, then you need to setup a detection grid to isolate each.

    If you are putting sensors on each ball and have each ball report its position, then you need GPS or something similar that can accurately know their position.

     

    If you are trying to build up an internal navigation system, I have to warn you that they are not as accurate as you will probably need.

    You might set up a couple of antennas and have the objects "chirp" at different frequencies and then use the time difference to do triangulation, but again, its not accurate in the small scale.
