 This simple Arduino based step counter is powered by a 9V cell, making it easy to carry when you go out for a walk or jog. It also requires very few components to build and the code is also relatively simple. The program in this project uses the MPU6050 to measure the magnitude of the acceleration along the 3 axis (X, Y, and Z). Then it calculates the difference of the acceleration magnitude between the previous and current values. If the difference is greater than a certain threshold (For walking greater than 6 and for running greater than 10), then it increases the step count accordingly. The total steps taken are then displayed on OLED Display.
