Now I activate accelerometers in x-axis and y-axis, but the output of the program could only be positive numbers when I accecelerate it in any direction. Is there any way to initialing the program to enable the accelerometer obtain negative measurement when it is accelerated in opposite direction?</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 03 Feb 2026 23:45:39 GMT 826903629 2026-02-03T23:45:39Z https://community.nxp.com/t5/Sensors/How-can-FXOS8700CQ-measure-negative-acceleration/m-p/1049372#M6137 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hello, I'm trying to use the sensor&nbsp;FXOS8700CQ in a development board FRDM-K66F to measure acceleration.
