Accelerometer

The aim of this project is to successfully develop a training system that will assist the shooter in realizing when he/she has stopped the gun. Objectives ● Alert the user when the gun is stopped at any point before the trigger is pulled. ● Alert the user if the gun movement is sped up, due to previous stopping or rushing. ● Buzzer/light to alert user ● User-friendly interface to interpret shooter data. An MPU6050 Accelerometer will be mounted to the gun. The accelerometer will be connected to a Raspberry Pi to extract the data received. When the shooter begins to tract the object, the acceleration force will increase, as the shooter follows the object t, the acceleration should drop to 0 because the user should be maintaining the same speed as the target. If there is a sudden de-acceleration before the trigger is pulled then this should alert the user because they have made an error. A slight acceleration before the trigger is pulled will be allowed because, when shooting most crossing targets, the shooter should slightly accelerate in front of the target before shooting. All data received will be compared to one of 4 possible scenarios.
