Question

Just wondering are there any examples of how speed could be measured using LSM6DSOX? Or is this even possible using Unico GUI? I know speed = distance/time so technically if you can measure distance and time using LSM6DSOX speed can be inferred? Than

Hi, note that the accelerometers output an acceleration, so if you want to get the speed from an acceleration you have to integrate the output value. You can use the ODR speed as timebase for the integration. This white paper might help to explain this integration in more detail.
