An accelerometer, a la Velodyne?


And those who are not asleep will note that this is a very good
solution from an experimental point of view. Points to those that say
why.


It gives you acelleration, forthwith.

Integrate it (essentially pass it through a low pass filter) once and you
get velocity.

Integrate it again and you get position.

Every time you integrate it, a lot of spurious noise gets low-pass filtered
@ 6 dB/octave.


Yes, and that's a good thing(TM).

OK, 2 points but remember what Svante said. . and there is more. . .
Think "one variable at a time" and "how should we record and process
the accelerometer data?"


What's the bandwidth of an accelerometer signal when stuck on a speaker
cone? Could you use a sound card input to digitize it?
