MEMS accelerometer: basics and 2 axis accelerometers

[@martinda7446]

Very fine series of videos. Deserves much higher viewing figures.

Hi, does anybody know how we can avoid electrostatic capture of the proof mass when the accelerometer is subject to input acceleration beyond the full-scale range?

You are amazing! Thanks so much for the explanation.

Thank you for sharing this knowledge! Why is delta in c proportional to AX/d isn't AX/sq(d)

[@RuudLoeffen]

Thank you for the explanation. The acceleration on the surface of the earth is 9,8 m/s2. This could be the acceleration of the crust of the earth upwards OR the fall of an object downwards. If you throw the device in the air and you read the acceleration in free-fall, you will see NO ACCELERATION. If you take it in your hand again (or put it on the table) with the upside up, you will read an upward acceleration of 9,8 m/s2. This means: the device is telling me, that the device (me, my hand, the table) is accelerated upwards. Does this mean that the earth-crust is pushing upwards causing an acceleration of 9,8 m/s2 upwards? Is there a way or reasoning to distinct between these two possibilities?

good stuff, thanks for sharing

[@brainwashcleaner1843]

can you measure pitch if Z=0. Meaning, in a zero gravity can you measure pitch. I only want X and Y vectors. No Z. I mean , what is you are in the moon at 1/6 G?
