Electromake Tindie Accelerometer Issue

Dear sir/madam,

I need some technical help. I bought your accelerometer:

https://www.tindie.com/products/electromake/3-axis-usb-accelerometer/#=

and amended your example code to suit my purpose. You can find the code here:

gwhan98/Tindie-Accelerometer/blob/main/python-data-acquisition.py

I tested the accelerometer on a car, decelerating from 20m/s to 0m/s in around 1s.
The code writes data every t=1s. Assuming v=0m/s, and using the formula a=(v-u)/t, we get a=-u. Since I am using the Euclidian distance, I am ignoring negative signs.

However, the highest value that the accelerometer can give me is a= 2m/s^2, when I should be getting >10m/s^2. Can you help me if I am doing something wrong? Thank you. [Sent from 3 axis USB accelerometer page]

Hey WeiHanGan,

Tindie is a marketplace where sellers feature their products. Because we do not make, keep stock, or ship products, we cannot answer many specific technical, stocking, or shipping questions regarding them.

The best way to get your question answered is to go to the product page and click on the “contact” button for the seller. It is on the right side of the page under the store information.

Best,

I have tried to contact the seller, they are not answering me.
