✅ 3 Simple ways to use Acceleration in an Arduino program

You Rock.

Hi -,

Have you ever needed an Arduino to control how fast or slow something changes?

Acceleration is the rate of change of something over time.

Acceleration can help describe things like:

• How fast can a stopped car get to 88mph?
• If I do a wing-suit jump from the top of Mount Everest, how fast will I be when I
  am gliding over base camp?
• How can I gently slow down the movement of a mechanical servo before it
  comes to rest?

We can implement acceleration when programming Arduino quite easily with just a couple lines of code.

The basic concept is that a variable will need to change –

how it changes over the course of the sketch is what we are interested in.

I invite you to check out the video lesson below.

It's about 3 easy ways we can code change in variables so they display acceleration.

Click here to watch the video lesson on three ways to code acceleration.

Using acceleration is easier than you might, and can be helpful for many applications -

a useful tool for your repertoire.

Have a great one,
