More information is needed. What are you trying to do?

[goldpower offline]

I only know the VB.NET language And I do not know the C++ language.

(The sensor 146 I've tested the sample code c++ because it does not suffer from the negative axis accelerometer values ​​and only values ​​from 0 to 65535?)

What are you connecting this board to?

I haven't tried this board, but it's an I2C board, so it connects the same way as any I2C board.

I'm getting an error saying corrupted zip file when I try to download their code for this module.,,

As for the accelerometer values:

The "at rest" position will be some value between 0 and 65535 (16 bits). This value becomes your zero point, if you want to see acceleration as positive and negative values (meaning, Current Value - "at rest" value = zero referenced result).

[goldpower offline]

yes.

Datasheet LSM303DLH :

Please explain more about negative values ​​axes.

sample code c++ for values ​​from 0 to 65535

I saw your other post. I'll try to re-explain:

At rest, when sitting still, you will get some value from X, Y, and Z. To generate + and - values relative to rest position, do this:

RelativeValueX = CurrentX - AtRestX

RelativeValueX will be + when axis is greater than AtRestX, and - when axis is less than AtRestX.

Do the same for Y and Z.

All accelerometers exhibit some value when at rest, as gravity is always affecting them. An axis perfectly perpendicular to the force of gravity and not moving should be zero, but it is unlikely you'll actually see zero at this position due to fabrication, tolerances, etc. It is sufficient in practice to zero-reference by using "at rest" values.

This is similar to how RC gyros work in helicopters and such, and is why you're supposed to leave the gyro alone for a few seconds when powering on - because it is recording its "at rest" position to use as a reference.
