Re: Accerometer Problems

(from the same team)

That was our main worry. We'll try hooking up the other 2 axes and see if we have any more success. They aren't backwards, and they are being read (we're just getting impossible numbers, constant scrolling between -2.6 and -2.7 if I remember correctly).

Thanks.

Re: Accerometer Problems

We had a similar problem with ours. I believe it was a software issue. Unfortunitly I cant remember what I had to do to fix it.

You can verify the accelerometer is working by using a voltmeter. With the accelerometer hooked up, measure the voltage between the signal pin and ground. Be careful not to short anything out. If you measure something around 1.5V (+/-0.3V) then it is working.

Hope that helps.
Jeff

Re: Accerometer Problems

When you opened the accelorometer, did you add scaling? The lack of scaling, or scaling thats off may throw your readings.
