POINTLESS TEST?

NEW TEST

I decided to run a little test today, as simple and stupid of a test, i think i might have found something out.

So i filled a container with water to see if varying the depth of the water would make a difference in the readings, while the tsunameter wasn't moving.

The readings were not-averaged and the noise was partially under control.
This is at the 4.5 inch reading.

the movements happens when i poured water in the container.

The result of the test was that the value of Z which is what i am focusing on right now, didnt change. It fluctuated a bit, but i am guessing at this point that values around 526-527 are my 0 on the Z axis.

My cat enjoyed the test...
