Accelerometer experimental values

Table 1: Accelerometer Calibration Experiment Results

The following test was performed on the calibrated output of the accelerometer. Initially the accelerometer was calibrated in the static state sitting on a table; increments based on a degree measurement. The X and Z were measured as shown in Figure 1, and Y was measured as shown in Figure 2.

Calibration of the module is done by taking a snapshot of the x, y, and z values during startup. The values in Table 1 are simply the difference between these initial values and the sampled values at the various angles. That is

K_calibrated = K_initial - K_sample,

where K is either the x, y, or z direction.

Note:
This experiment is going to be refined to show the sampled value along with the calibrated value, where the rollover is shown. Updates to come...

It is noted in the test that the X and Y values correspond for their respective angles.
