Bias when measuring gravity.

By robprzy , 24 June 2017

We just brought up a 20 boards for a prototype. We are measuring gravity on the z direction.

On the boards that seem to work properly, we measure 1g with the chip facing up, -1g when the chip is facing down.

On the boards that are not behaving:

Chip facing up: 0.86g
Chip facing down: -1.16g

Do you know of anything that would cause this? I am wondering if this is a hardware or software problem based on others who have already experienced this? If hardware, was there external passive components (capacitors) that caused this?

Thanks,

Rob
