Hi Guys
I am using a mobile phone to collect some accelerometer data for my walking experiments. I know this topic is done to death but a specific answer that I have never got is what does mobile phone accelerometers actually measure? Do they give the acceleration due to all the forces acting on the mobile or do they provide only the physical acceleration with respect to the inertial frame? If it is the former, do you know any apps that provide the latter readings?
