Store and reopen IMU data on SD card

[jsh]

Hello everyone,
I am programming a M5Stack in the Arduino IDE. I want to read the acceleration data of the installed IMU, save it on the SD card, open it again and edit it. Using the example sketches of Arduino I can do all this. But my problem is that I can't edit the data further. I would like to sum up all recorded accX, accY and accZ values one by one. I have tested this for the accX values, but nothing comes out right. My goal is to integrate the data to get a total value for the speed of one-dimensional linear movements.
Can someone tell me how I can only access the saved and reopened values of my SD card?
Here is my code:

    return;
}

writeFile(SD, "/acceleration.txt", "   Time    aX       aY        aZ");

while (start){

     {

         measurement = (!(measurement));
      }

      {
          zeit_end = millis()-zeit_start;
          M5.IMU.getAccelData(&accX,&accY,&accZ);

                Serial.println(testX);

Hi @jsh

in your readFile() function try something like this to sum up accX into testX:

  testX = 0.0;
  while(file.available())
  {
    // read zeit - skip over
    file.parseFloat();
    // read accX - sum up
    testX = testX + file.parseFloat();
    // read accY - skip over
    file.parseFloat();
    // read accZ - skip over
    file.parseFloat();
  }

instead of

  while(file.available())
  {
    Serial.write(file.read());
    testX = testX + (abs(accX));
  }

Good luck!

Cheers
Felix

Hallo @felmue

I have tried it and it works, thanks for the quick help!!!
I am glad that I can finally continue working on my program :)
