How to get information about acceleration using arduino uno?

I want to use arduino and simulink. So, I'll get data from acceleration sensor. This sensor have x,y,z accel direction and gyro direction. What should I do??

Hi Seung-Min,

To get data from an accelerometer and gyroscope sensor (like an MPU6050) using Arduino and Simulink, you can follow these steps:

1. Hardware Setup- You need to connect your hardware device to Arduino. For this refer to the documentation page of your sensor device.
2. Software Setup- Install 'Simulink Support Package for Arduino hardware' from MATLAB add-ons. Install the necessary libraries for the sensor on Arduino IDE as well.
3. Simulink Model Creation- Create your Simulink model that will be deployed on the hardware.
4. Deploy on hardware- Connect the Arduino to your computer and hit the "Deploy to Hardware" button to build the model and upload it to the Arduino device.

Using these steps you can get the required data. Additionally, you can also refer to the documentation link below for more detailed understanding-
