Abstract

This paper aims at developing MEMS accelerometer based system for motion analysis. Micro-fabricated accelerometer sensor which is called “MEMS” is used to measure acceleration in the variety of applications. MEMS are the miniature form of the sensor which is micro-machined in silicon that´s why they can be used in integrated circuits. MEMS accelerometer is used to acquire the signals in three axes from the subject and then signal acquisition of three axes is done by using data acquisition device (DAQ) and microcontroller. The output of all three axes is shown in laptop/PC by using MATLAB program and GUI (Graphical User Interface) screen.
