DIY Pedometer Using Arduino and Accelerometer

Hi guys in this instructables we will make a pedometer with Arduino and that pedometer will count the steps with the help of Accelerometer sensor which will work as pedometer sensor. And the steps will be displayed using 1602 Lcd Display with SPI to I2C module.

Connections are pretty straight forward so,
Please connect everything According to the shown schmatics.

Please copy the following code and upload it to the arduino Board :

#include "LiquidCrystal_I2C.h"
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 16, 2);
const int xpin = A1;
const int ypin = A2;
const int zpin = A3;
byte p[8] = {
0x1F,
0x1F,
0x1F,
0x1F,
0x1F,
0x1F,
0x1F,
0x1F
};
float threshold = 6;
float xval[100] = {0};
float yval[100] = {0};
float zval[100] = {0};
float xavg, yavg, zavg;
int steps, flag = 0;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
lcd.begin();
lcd.backlight();
lcd.clear();
calibrate();
}
void loop()
{
for (int w = 0; w < 16; w++) {
lcd.write(byte(0));
delay(500);
}
int acc = 0;
float totvect[100] = {0};
float totave[100] = {0};
float xaccl[100] = {0};
float yaccl[100] = {0};
float zaccl[100] = {0};
for (int a = 0; a < 100; a++)
{
xaccl[a] = float(analogRead(xpin) - 345);
delay(1);
yaccl[a] = float(analogRead(ypin) - 346);
delay(1);
zaccl[a] = float(analogRead(zpin) - 416);
delay(1);
totvect[a] = sqrt(((xaccl[a] - xavg) * (xaccl[a] - xavg)) + ((yaccl[a] - yavg) * (yaccl[a] - yavg)) + ((zval[a] - zavg) * (zval[a] - zavg)));
totave[a] = (totvect[a] + totvect[a - 1]) / 2 ;
Serial.println("totave[a]");
Serial.println(totave[a]);
delay(100);
if (totave[a] > threshold && flag == 0)
{
steps = steps + 1;
flag = 1;
}
else if (totave[a] > threshold && flag == 1)
{
// Don't Count
}
if (totave[a] < threshold && flag == 1)
{
flag = 0;
}
if (steps < 0) {
steps = 0;
}
Serial.println('\n');
Serial.print("steps: ");
Serial.println(steps);
lcd.print("Steps: ");
lcd.print(steps);
delay(1000);
lcd.clear();
}
delay(1000);
}
void calibrate()
{
float sum = 0;
float sum1 = 0;
float sum2 = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
xval[i] = float(analogRead(xpin) - 345);
sum = xval[i] + sum;
}
delay(100);
xavg = sum / 100.0;
Serial.println(xavg);
for (int j = 0; j < 100; j++)
{
yval[j] = float(analogRead(ypin) - 346);
sum1 = yval[j] + sum1;
}
yavg = sum1 / 100.0;
Serial.println(yavg);
delay(100);
for (int q = 0; q < 100; q++)
{
zval[q] = float(analogRead(zpin) - 416);
sum2 = zval[q] + sum2;
}
zavg = sum2 / 100.0;
delay(100);
Serial.println(zavg);
}

After Connecting everything together & Uploading the code then connect the power source and try to walk with it and it will show the steps on the LCD display.
So have fun making your own DIY Pedometer.
