I would like to know it, too...<br>

Is there really noone who knows how to calibrate the sensors?
If you put your device on a levelled surface, do the sensors correctly
reflect its position, or is there a significant deviation / error as
with my device? (A good indicator is the XEyes desktop widget.)</pre>

When my accelerometer is working (it gets stuck every time the N900
runs out of battery and is recharged) and I place it on a flat table,
AccDisplay shows:<br>
<br>
X: 0.02<br>
Z: -0.95<br>
Y: 0.02<br>
<br>
I could find any position where all variables become close to 0.
Anyway, I don't know yet how it works. I guess the variables might be
related to the current angle on that axis, but the angle is expressed
from -1.00 to 1.00. <br>
<br>
Since it is called an "accelerometer", isn't it supposed to tell the
current acceleration in any axis? Or it is so but this program just
calculates everything and exposes only the current rotation ?<br>
<br>
