How to convert rotation rate v/s time graph (gyroscope) to displacement v/s time? - Aaryan - 11-21-2024

I'm working on a bifilar pendulum's damping, and I have taken 60+ readings with the Phyphox gyroscope just to realise that it measures rad/s v/s time and not rad v/s time which is what I need to calculate for damping. Is there any way I can use all this data in CSV to convert it to displacement v/s time?

You could numerically integrate the rotation rate data. There are plenty of algorithms on how to do this. Alternatively, you could have a look at https://phyphox.org/forums/showthread.php?tid=1816 and the referenced thread therein that might provide a solution within phyphox.

Please note the comment at https://phyphox.org/wiki/index.php/Integrated_acceleration being equally well true here: numerical integration could quickly run off…
