Formular for GPS Logger Tilt sensor (raw data):
1g = 9,80665 m/s²
x (m/s²) = (tilt.x/8192) * 9,80665
y (m/s²) = (tilt.y/8192) * 9,80665
z (m/s²) = (tilt.z/8192) * 9,80665
That's it!
Should I interpret that the raw data in on the micro SD card for acceleration is in g's * 8192?
What is the meaning of the 8192 constant?
For example data out of the GPS Logger is:
$PAAG,DATA,T,202514.0,385,-8191,65,A*31
Do I interpret the data as follows?
X-axis: 385/8192 = 0.04699 g or 0.461 m/s^2
Y-Axis: -8191/8192 = -0.9999 g or -9.804 m/s^2
Z-Axis: 65/8192 = 0.008 g or 0.078 m/s^2
Thanks
No that is wrong.
Take your sample data
$PAAG,DATA,T,202514.0,385,-8191,65,A*31
The calculation for m/s² is:
x (m/s²) = (tilt.x/8192) * 9,80665
y (m/s²) = (tilt.y/8192) * 9,80665
z (m/s²) = (tilt.z/8192) * 9,80665(1g = 9,80665 m/s²)
So you need to calculate for m/s²:
X-axis: (385/8192)*9,80665 = 4,52086565 m/s²
Y-Axis: (-8191/8192)*9,80665 = -96,1443966 m/s²
Z-Axis: (65/8192)*9,80665 = 0,7649187 m/s²
The output of our 3D 14-bit accelerometer is operating in the ±2g range. This will change by 8192 counts as the accelerometer is rotated 180° with an axis, giving an average sensitivity of one count per 0.022° change in tilt.

Unfortunately I think your calculations are wrong and Rabman was correct. You have both used the same formula, but your answers are incorrect.
Applying the calculations to my data I am reading maximum values at +4G, but you say it is currently set to +2G as a maximum. Have I somehow managed to change the range? If so, how to I change it to +/-8G?
Thanks,
Jon.
At the moment the default for sure is 2G not 4G. At the moment it is not possible to change that value.
We are currently working on a new firmware which will offer more flexibility (can set to 2G, 4G, 8G or even 16G maximum).
