# ao-cal-accel(1)

Calibrate AltOS flight computer accelerometers

## NAME

ao-cal-accel - Calibrate AltOS flight computer accelerometers

## SYNOPSIS

**ao-cal-accel** \[-T *tty-device*\] \[--tty *tty-device*\] \[-D *altos-device*\] \[--device *altos-device*\]

## DESCRIPTION

*ao-cal-accel* drives the built-in accelerometer calibration and validates the results.

## OPTIONS

- \-T tty-device \| --tty tty-device

  This selects which tty device the debugger uses to communicate with the target device. The special name 'BITBANG' directs ao-dbg to use the cp2103 connection, otherwise this should be a usb serial port connected to a suitable cc1111 debug node.

- \-D AltOS-device \| --device AltOS-device

  Search for a connected device. This requires an argument of one of the following forms:

-

  TeleMega:2\
   TeleMega\
   2

-

  Leaving out the product name will cause the tool to select a suitable product, leaving out the serial number will cause the tool to match one of the available devices.

## USAGE

*ao-cal-accel* opens the target device, executes the accelerometer calibration command, verifies that it executed correctly, then shows the resulting calibration values and saves them to configuration memory.
