Oh, that makes sense. Than, 1g should be proportional to 32.1740486 ft * s^-1 * s^-1. I feel dumb now.

Thanks!

E/ the neutral reading of the accelerometer seems to oscillate around 0.002 and 0.004. (not 0.2 and 0.4)

Within 10 seconds, this would give the incorrect reading of ten feet per second if integrated.

Has anyone even got the accelerometer to work properly?
