ADXL 3xx ACCELEROMETER

ACCELEROMETER TEST

So i now am going to implement the Tsunameter mock with an accelerometer. Since i have never used one before i am not sure of what normal values are, but this is what the mock looks like so far:

The code i used for the Arduino is probably not correct, but so far it just reads in the serial data from the 3 axes of the accelerometer, from there i am assuming i am supposed to do some kind of math or calculation to calibrate the data, but for now this is what it looks like:

And after i figure out how to exactly implement the accelerometer, then i will add the hydrophone i received today.
