Hi, All: I am trying to get what I believe is an ADXL 362/346 (at least that's what it says on the board) to work with a Photon 2, and just getting 0's for acceleration. I did solder the headers myself, but they _look_ OK. I am using the particle\_ADXL362 library as is -- there's no real documentation, I dunno if it's really designed for the Photon 2 or not. Any suggestions / help would be appreciated! ---

I've used the [ADXL362DMA](https://github.com/rickkas7/ADXL362DMA) library on the Photon 2 and it worked properly. ---

Whatever they're paying you, it's not enough -- please tell your boss that. 😀 With the ADXL362DMA library, and changing the SS pin from A2 to S3, I'm now getting non-zero numbers, around -105, 50 and 1320. I found [this data sheet](https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/adxl362.pdf), and if I'm reading it right the scale factor is 1000 LSB/g, so ... divide by 1000? Meaning that gravity is around 1.32g? That seems a little high, but it's certainly in the ballpark. Thanks again for your help, I am grateful. ---
