Accelermoter issue with VEXcode V5 Text

[Ken1]

Hi,

I’m trying to program Accelerometer 1.0 with VEXcode V5 Text, according to the product description, it has two sensitivity ranges: +2g to -2g(with out jumper) and +6g to -6g(with jumper). So I installed one accelerometer to my V5 robot horizontally, connect Z axis to V5 brain, and leave the robot on table don’t move. then printed the sensor value to brain screen, result as below screenshot:

According to the production description https://www.vexrobotics.com/276-2332.html#Description the sensor will detect a constant 1.0G while at rest, so the result here seems incorrect. then I made another test, which choose Accel6G in VEXcode, but removed the jumper(so the accelerometer range should be +2g to -2g), then printed the value: 1.00

So the device type here in VEXcode V5 Text was wrong or my first test was wrong? Anyone can help verify this issue?
Thanks in advance.

We’re looking into it… I’ll hopefully have more for you tomorrow!

Graphical configuration just has them backwards (ie. it’s a bug)
So the ACCEL2G is creating the constructor for the accelerometer in low sensitivity rather than high sensitivity. That’s why one is reading 1/3 of what it should be and the other 3x.

got it, thanks !
