I am trying to follow the tutorial for the accelerometer found here:
http://beagleboard.org/Support/BoneScript/accelerometer/
If I read it right I should be getting back a 1.0 as the resting state on
the table. However I get back this:
Analog Read Value x: -4.853507815339876
Analog Read Value

Yes. The comments in the code say that when the board is flat on a table
the x and y should be zero. So simply read the values while it is flat and
I was not sure if using 470 ohm resistors instead of the 500-1000ohm was
causing it. The bigger question is if I use the Z value since that is the
third axis for the conversion then how do I measure acceleration in the z
axis? I set the zero offset so that the values all =1. Wouldn't that be
