Hi,
I have converted the accelerations raw data into m/s^2 as shown here: /mems-sensors-forum-jrmujtaw/post/bmi160-converting-data-with-resolution-6uFc2iS9w22bU6b
I would like to understand the impact of the range on the actual data. At the minute, for my application, I don't know what accuracy I need yet. Understanding the impact of the range will help me choose the correct one for my application. To try to understand I tried different ranges. I get different value for accelereation on z-axis (az) which is meant to equal to g=9.8.
Here what I get for a az raw data equal to 2164.
with +/- 16G: 10.365 m/s^2.
with +/- 8G: 5.180 m/s^2.
Could you help me please understand the difference between these 2 accelerations? My undertanding is the sensor should measure g on the z axis. So I am supposed to get 9.81.
Many thanks
Katie
