Abstract

Offshore platforms are floating structures, located at sea, that can develop drilling and production activities, in some cases, storage and transfer. For the proper development of the activities of operators, the platform shall remain in balance. If you have any movement, let these movements stay within tolerable limits. The movements of the vessels are mainly caused by environmental actions: current, wind and wave. For the mapping of movements, several sensors are installed in the structures in order to obtain more accurate information, having in many cases, more than one sensor mapping the same information. To read this information, acquisition systems must be connected to computers so that the correct interpretation of what is being measured can be performed. The use of Arduino has grown in recent years due to the possibility of its use with sensors and the associated low cost. Thus, this work proposes the use of an Arduino and MPU6050 system (sensor with gyroscope and accelerometer) for mapping turns on maritime platforms for didactic purposes. The code is implemented to read the information from the accelerometer and gyroscope and it´s verified that the results obtained are consistent with the movements that were imposed. It´s concluded, then, the feasibility of use for mapping the rotation of a platform.
