Initial setup to calibrate the accelerometer

calibration of the accelerometer:

misalignment angle measured gravity deviation percentage

2.26245953203 degrees, 9.80764530293 m/s^2, 0.0816326530612 % for the x-axis

2.11138229046 degrees, 9.80665779414 m/s^2, 0.0714285714286 % for the y-axis

1.88511051001 degrees, 9.80530664911 m/s^2, 0.0510204081633 % for the z-axis

Initial result using the calibrated accelerometer sensor and the assembled mechanical setup of the crystal drawing prototype. The coordinate system is such that the z-axis and x-axis get to be parallel with gravity, while the y-axis is parallel to the shaft. The sampling rate was 100ms and the rotation setting was 3
