martinb Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hi AllI'm very new to the world of accelerometers gyro's etc, and I've recently purchased a MPU-6050, which I promptly dropped from a height of approximately 2 feet or so, onto my wooded desk top right out of the packaging. This poor thing bounced around a fair bit before coming to a stop. The data sheet states it can handle 10000 G’s, but this value doesn’t mean anything to me.Does anyone know how many G’s my device would have experienced in this unfortunate adventure?One more thing, the data sheet also states the accelerometer data is returned in 16 bits two’s complement form. To ask a question to what might seem like an obvious answer, is it correct that, to get back the raw data I would have to subtract one first, and then invert the whole 16 bits? OR have I missed something? cheers, and thanks. lapedNok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
