1. A motion capture element comprising:

  • a memory;

    a sensor configured to capture at least one value associated with an orientation, position, velocity, acceleration, proximity, pressure or strain of said at least one motion capture element;

    an optional radio;

    a microcontroller coupled with said memory, said sensor and said radio wherein said microcontroller is configured tocollect data that comprises sensor values from said sensor and determine a type of equipment or type of movement said sensor is coupled with or both, and based on said type of equipment or type of movement or both, set a sensor personality to utilize dynamically, and based on said sensor personality selected from a plurality of sensor personalities, control sensor settings to collect the data in an optimal manner with respect to a specific type of movement associated with a specific piece of equipment or type of clothing;

    store said data in said memory;

    transmit said data via said radio or transmit said data over a direct connection to an attached mobile device; and

    ,recalibrate said sensor throughmeasurement of linear acceleration during a low acceleration time window for at least two axes of the sensor,comparison of differences in linear acceleration in the low acceleration time window, and,performance of a recalibration using calibration data from a below threshold sensor or transmission of an out of calibration alert.
