Re: Adjust Sensor Output to be Zero
Keep in mind that most accelerometers (i have not checked the roboRIO) give acceleration in X, Y and Z. The Z axis is typically straight down and should read the effect of gravity (32.174ft/s2). If the robot is not level, a portion of the gravity value will appear on the X and/or Y sensor.

Was the roboRIO perfectly level and/or did you correct for it's orientation?
