Re: Acceleration Sensor Connected, but values are odd....

what exactly are we suppose to understand from these readings? are the values in m/s^2 ? are they in ft/s^2 ? how can we use those values to determine the robot's acceleration in m/s^2 ? is it in g's?

someone from another team told me that in order to get the acceleration in g's i have to calculate arctangent of the sinus of the value I'm getting , but that doesn't make any sense to me .
