      Abstract
      Low cost, miniaturized, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) motion sensors, collectively with processors, an energy source and other electronic circuitry can be packaged into very small volumes for autonomous operation. If such a system operates over short periods of time, or data acquisitions occur at a very low frequency, processor resources should be sufficient to manage offsets and errors. The paper analyzes a typical set of COTS accelerometers and gyroscopes, to indicate how best these can be used in hydraulic environments. Application examples such as river bed sediment monitoring, milk vat monitoring etc. are briefly discussed, with application oriented design approaches. Minimizing the power consumption to introduce a novel, rechargeable power supply design is briefly outlined.
