Re: Adjust Sensor Output to be Zero

If you are using a 6-wheel drivetrain like what was provided in the KOP,
The acceleration due to gravity will shift around a little as the robot rocks.

In that case you will need to take readings when the robot is in the two extreme positions, then decide how you want to subtract the sum from future readings.
