I'm wondering, why the LIS302DL kernel driver returns 16bit values for
each axis. Because the sensor itself has only 8bit resolution for each
axis. The next question is if the returned values are normalized to
"g * 10^-2" or just upscaled raw values (which makes no sense). Because
1g in 8bit would be ~64 if the sensor is set to +-2g range (which can be
changed to +-8g range within the sensor).
When the returned values are representing "cm/s^2" than you are right
that the z-value is a bit off.
But i can't find any related information about how to interpreted the
returned x/y/z axis values on the wiki page.
Ciao,
Rainer
