Hi all,
I am working on a project that involves using a 1-axis (if I'm not wrong) accelerometer for vibration sensing called TA102 by CTC. This sensor also gives a temperature reading. All this data I send over the network to a gateway. But I am having trouble measuring or making sense of the output at the accelerometer end.
I get the temperature reading but I get a very high value at the accelerometer side. The Sensitivity given for the accelerometer is about 100 mv/g. If I am not wrong, the voltage output at rest should be ~0 mv. But I get a value of around 6.78 VDC. I am little confused as I am not sure if I am measuring the voltage correctly. The circuit I use is given in the pic attached. Would appreciate if some one could help me understand what I should do to get the right value.
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks for the help.
