Accel Z not correct?

Posted by Jan Boermans on September 4, 2011 at 6:27am

Hi All,

When trying to solve my unstable loiter mode I came accross 'Raw Sensor View' screen in the APM planner when having the mavlink connected.

All sensors are around 0 (gyro X,Y,Z and Accel X,Y). Would assume that Accel Z should be at 0 as well when the copter is just standing on the work bench and not moving. It shows -1000 constantly. Has anybody seen this before? I assume this is not normal but can't really find an explanation for it.

All suggestions are highly appriciated,

Jan

We get that question so often we've even put an entry in the Troubleshooting Guide on it. Remember high school physics! Gravity is an acceleration.
