Unexpected ADXL375 Measurement

[pcom]

Hello,

I recently got the ADXL375 accelerometer and followed the Python usage on the guide (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-adx ... cuitpython), but for some reason when my sensor is perfectly still, I do not measure a total acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2. My measurement value hovers around 12.1 m/s^2 which is a good amount different then expected. Is there some calibration or zeroing I have to do? It's connected to my Raspberry Pi via a Qwiic to female socket cable and I noticed that the little "on" LED doesn't turn on when I connect power to the device. Is it possible there's an issue with the sensor?

Also as a quick aside, I believe I found an error in the Python document guide for the DPS310 sensor but I'm not sure who to inform to help future users. Specifically, on this page: https://docs.circuitpython.org/projects ... /api.html#, the guide says "property pressure" returns a reading in [kPa], but I believe it's [hPa]. Also, "property altitude" isn't given a unit and I believe it's [m].

Thanks for any help or thoughts!

Please start a new thread for the DPS310 so we can check that out.

You can set the offset calibration with this script to dial it in.

That code solved the problem perfectly! Thanks for your help, I'll be sure to make a new thread for the DPS310.
