To calibrate our completed accelerometer, we will use a known acceleration to equate a force felt by the known mass to the arbitrary units read on the capacitance sensor. Our initial testing was going to use gravity, which we assume to be 9.81 m/s2, but upon further testing we found this acceleration to be too low to measure accurately on the sensor. With this, we propose two changes if we were to do this again: a higher resistor value (10MΩ < R < 24MΩ), or foam with a much lower K constant. The latter choice would be the first change, as the ossillating medium requires a high acceleration to fully compress. With this, we can place the accelerometer on a level surface measuring along the Y-axis (up). The known mass (brass mass) will then experience a force, which we know to be equal to:
 \(F_{\exp}\ =\ m_{Known}\cdot\ g\)
We can then equate this force with the reading on the capacitance sensors, and solve for what one of our arbitrary units will be equal to in terms of newtons and/or m/s2. We can now calibrate the instrument on both of the capacitance sensors to ensure our reading is accurate to both degrees. Additionally, we can use the data collected on the capacitance sensors passive increase in reading value, mentioned in section \ref{703201}, to create an equation for the line of best fit which describes the increase, and adjust our values accordingly. This, along with adjustments throughout testing, will ensure the most accurate acceleration measurements our device can provide.
