Re: Accelerometer to measure velocity
To know when an object is in free fall, the acceleration is 0. Thus it is easy to measure, so long as you know what is up. I have used a 3-axis accelerometer without any issues. Quite easy. Look at

Re: Strange issue with LED Bulb
A good lesson here is that a reference schematic is not the same as a reference board layout. In many cases, part placement is as important as part value. Thanks for the report on the solution,

Re: Accelerometer to measure velocity
An accelerometer measures acceleration, which is the first derivative of velocity with respect to time. Theoretically, you can integrate acceleration over time to obtain velocity, but the problem is
