A pedometer is a device that counts the number of steps. Typically these are worn as watches with popular brands like Garmin or Fitit owning the market share at the time of this writing. It turns out though that your phone and apps like Google Fit can also track steps just by being inside your pocket all day. The way they do this is by measuring the acceleration, angular velocity and potentially even the angles (using a magnetometer) to count steps. In this lab this we will just focus on attempting to get steps using accelerometer data.
