How to remove Gravity factor from Accelerometer readings .

 I am using the industrial IIS2DH accelerometer in my vibration analysis product. I need only pure acceleration values in all directions. So at any state if the device is stable (or in constant speed), it should give (0.0,0.0,0.0) roughly.

    Measure at rest, store as calibration value, and subtract at runtime.

    plz check also this thread, if can be of your interest. You could apply the embedded IIS2DH HP filter (CTRL_REG2 (21h) bits, see p.34 of the datasheet), if you need to monitor only acceleration variation above a certain frequency. But as per similar threads, Ozone suggestion must be the preferred one. Regards
