I measure the tilt of the engine. In my case, the acceleration may well exceed -8g. I can use MMA8451Q in such conditions ? What data I will read, if acceleration exceed 8g?

[mma8451q]

I measure the tilt of the engine. In my case, the acceleration may well exceed  +- 8g. I can use MMA8451Q in such conditions ? What data I will read, if acceleration exceed 8g?

[reyes]

Hi Pavel,

It is not recommended, but you can use the MMA8451 under such conditions. If you exceed the +/-8g, the output would be saturated to +/-8g.
