What is Accelerometer? - Explained

1. What is Accelerometer?

An accelerometer is a sensor that is sensitive to the movement or the acceleration from its original position. Accelerometers are used in vehicles, motorbikes, trains and many research equipments in the world to get the correct reading which is necessary to make the relevant calculations. 

2. Technology

A simple theory of physics used in the accelerometer in the build. Not on the earth's surface accelerations, the free fall from the sky also can be captured by using the accelerometer.

There are digital accelerometers which are commonly used in many devices that we use daily. Including the mobile phone, DIY project, Tablet PC, SmartWatch and etc...
