An accelerometer is a device that measures the acceleration of an object, typically along one or more axes. It detects changes in motion and can measure both static and dynamic acceleration. Static acceleration is the acceleration due to gravity, while dynamic acceleration refers to the changes in velocity of an object. Accelerometers operate based on one of several principles, including: 1. **Capacitive**: Uses changes in capacitance caused by the movement of a mass relative to electrodes.
