Formula to calculate velocity and acceleration #31

Closed aronstrandberg closed 9 years ago

aronstrandberg commented 9 years ago

We need a formula to calculate velocity and/or acceleration (and anything else interesting we can, maybe x- and y-axis velocity?) based on only current x- and y-axis gps coordinate and timestamp. This is ready to implement in the prototype, so let's get it done so we can have it ready in time for the meeting with HiQ!

Assigned @mengelin but if anyone else feels up to it, go!

You cant calculate velocity, yet acceleration based on only one set of GPS points and timestamps, you will need atleast two sets for velocity and 4 sets for acceleration.

Sorry, current and all previous is what I mean of course

Closely related to #36

Irrelevant as we use the speed function in the GPS? Can close?
