Universal accelerometer for 3D printers

thingiverse

Hello everyone, I've created a simple tool to measure 3-axis acceleration of my 3D printer and display it on your computer using Python. The data can be saved if you want to verify whether some of your upgrades improved stability in your printer (that was actually my goal). Improving something without measuring its impact is not scientific. I've built the code, and it works well on my computer. Currently, I'm working on an .exe file so that everyone can use this tool without having Python. If you find any bugs or have problems, please let me know. Connecting the LIS3DSH is easy, and the first entry on Google has a guide for properly wiring it. The sensor can measure accurately, and the range used in my sketch is from -2 to 2 g. After uploading the sketch to Arduino, you'll receive the first output after an internal calibration takes place, which lasts about 5 seconds. Documentation: You'll find a .pdf file within the files! What you need: Arduino Nano Python LIS3DSH accelerometer Some wire Update: To use it, run the Accelometer.py file. Make sure you have Arduino.py too. I've added a short video and a documentation as pdf. My next goal is to create an .exe file to simply run the script.
