This command configures an accelerometer.
The P parameter selects which accelerometer to use and is mandatory. To use an accelerometer on a CAN-connected expansion board, use the form Pboard-address.device-number for example P22.0.
If none of the other parameters are provided, the current configuration of the specified accelerometer is reported. Otherwise the configuration of that accelerometer is adjusted according to the I, S, and R parameters. These configuration settings persist until they are changed.
The I (orientation) parameter tells the firmware which of the 24 possible orientations the accelerometer chip is in relative to the printer axes. It is expressed as a 2-digit number. The first digit specifies which machine direction the Z axis of the accelerometer chip (usually the top face of the chip) faces, as follows: 0 = +X, 1 = +Y, 2 = +Z, 4 = -X, 5 = -Y, 6 = -Z. The second digit expresses which direction the X axis of the accelerometer chip faces, using the same code. If the accelerometer chip axes line up with the machine axis, the orientation is 21. This is the default orientation if no orientation has been specified.
The S and R parameters control how the accelerometer is programmed. The R parameter is ignored unless the S parameter is also provided. If S is provided but R is missing, a default resolution is used. The sensor resolution will be adjusted to be no greater than the value of the R parameter (or the minimum supported resolution if greater), then the sensor sampling rate will be adjusted to a value supported at that resolution that is close to the S parameter. The actual rate and resolution selected can be found by using M955 with just the P parameter.
