# Positional Tracking System with Microcontroller  

![illustration](acquisition_system.png)

This project focuses on developing a system that measures and graphically represents human displacement in real time. It is based on the Microchip PIC18F47Q10 microcontroller, the MMA7361L accelerometer, and MATLAB for data processing and visualization.  

## Signal Acquisition  

The acquisition system consists of a Microchip PIC18F47Q10 microcontroller connected to an MMA7361L accelerometer, which generates three output signals. Each signal corresponds to a voltage value that is later converted into an instantaneous acceleration measurement along the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis.

These three output signals from the accelerometer board are connected to digital inputs on the Microchip "Curiosity HPC" board, which integrates the PIC18F47Q10 microcontroller. The system samples acceleration values at a frequency of 93 Hz for each input pin.  

Once sampled, the values are converted from decimal to binary format and transmitted to a computer via the EUSART1 module on the Curiosity HPC board. MATLAB is then used for data processing and visualization.
