Description
Summary:Pedometers are known to have steps estimation issues. This is mainly attributed to their innate acceleration-based measuring sensory. This work proposes a novel implementation of microcontroller and accelerometer sensor, based for three step-size models pedometer in calorie consumption calculation. To verify the output voltage stability of accelerometer sensor, the methods of statistics analysis are introduced to extract the useful features. Three kinds of different steps are employed to obtain the analytic data. The proposed pedometer dimension of a proto-type is 68 mm (L) × 42 mm (W) × 15 mm (H).
