oh i know about wiki ))) but thanks anyway..vishal007win there is accelerometer with detailed and formulas valid for all types of accelerometers?

[koneur]

i mean accelerometers used with motors

[vishal007win]

be more specific then i can help you better!
as in what is the acceleration limit? what is frequency response?

Is this homework for a high school assignment?

[koneur]

yes..

[Cyrus]

yes..

Ah, that explains much. :smile:

So, unfortunately there is no 'accelerometer formulas' (to my knowledge) where you can simply plug in numbers and it spits out values.

thanks much
