MPU6050 Fall Detection

About

Arduino sketch to detect a fall based pitch and roll tilt calculations using the MPU6050 accelerometer.

Algorithm

Start

• Set fallcount = 0;

Loop

• Calculate Pitch and Roll
• If Pitch or Roll are greater than lesser trigger
  • Increment fallcount
  • If fallcount > large trigger
    • Report fallen on ground
  • Else if fallcount > medium trigger
    • Report has fallen
• Else if fallcount >0
  • Report Stumble
  • Set fallcount = 0
