      Why doesn't my PocketLab read zero acceleration at rest?

      PocketLab's accelerometer feels the pull of gravity and displays that on the vertical axis.

      The default Acceleration graph will read 1g of acceleration towards the earth while the sensor is at rest.

      The Acceleration Scalar graph is calibrated to read zero acceleration while at rest.

      For more information about the accelerometer, see this article:
