Basics | Investigate the data, represent the data graphically. Convert pixel readings of white markings into angles measured relative to the center and a chosen direction from the center. Note that the angle should increase monotonically (and not jump back to zero after a full cycle). Calculate angular speed and angular acceleration numericall. If necessary, use smoothing algorithms. Calculate the same results by introducing analytic fitting curves. |
