TheSonicRetard said:Now, we can read those charges, and use it as input data from our controllers. In order to make this data useful, we need to position accelerometers in three strategic positions. If anyone has ever studied aerodynamics before, you should be familiar with pitch, rotation, and yaw. These are the 3 kinds of acceleration we need to measure on the controller.
Acceleration along the Y axis.
acceleration along the X axis.
and acceleration along the Z axis.
There's a fundamental problem here: you're confusing linear and rotational motion. The accelerometers measure linear motion, as depicted in the first two pictures. They do not measure rotational motion. They measure the angle of tilt by using the gravity vector. As such, they can measure this angle even if the remote is stationary. To say it differently: the wii remote does not measure tilt by measuring rotation.
