Run the Calibration Sketch
Load the sketch below onto the Arduino and run it.
Open the Serial Monitor.
Lay the breadboard with the sensor on a flat surface
Press and hold the button until you see "Calibrate" in the serial monitor.
This will calibrate the minimum value for the z axis.
Stand the breadboard on the front edge and press the button again. to calibrate +y
Repeat this for the three other edges to calibrate +x, -y and -x.
Turn the breadboard upside down and press the button again to calibrate +z. (Hint, the
underside of a table works well to steady it.)
Calibration Sketch Output:
Once calibrated, the output will show the calibrated raw range for each axis, followed by
the measured "G" forces. The raw ranges can be used as constants in sketches.
Raw Ranges: X: 408-616, Y: 398-610, Z: 422-625
