I believe there is an issue with the SensorTag firmware rev. 1.5. When my device is connected to my application, the magnitude of acceleration is 0.25 instead of 1g.
I have 2 SensorTag devices, one is running SensorTag firmware rev. 1.4 and the other is running SensorTag firmware rev. 1.5. There is clearly an issue with the firmware because when I run the SensorTag that has firmware revision 1.5, the magnitude is .25g at a static position. When I run the SensorTag that has firmware revision 1.4, the magnitude is 1g at static position.
