[PATCH 1/2] iio: Add support for linear accel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add new channel types support for linear accel sensor.

Linear acceleration differs from a standard accelerometor,
its value depends on standard accel sensor and gravity sensor.
Conceptually, this three sensors have following relationship:
linear acceleration = acceleration - acceleration due to gravity

At rest, standard accelerometer displays 1g due to earth’s
gravitational pull while a liner accelerometer will show 0g.
