Demonstration of using an accelerometer to measure a linear movement. I forgot to mention when actually testing the accuracy of the device I used a different setup which was a rack and pinion controlled by a servo to which I could accurately repeat a movement and compare the results from the ACC. Also the video was a bit shaky so I applied anti-shake which caused the video to crop the sides and blur sometimes.
