Accelerometer on toolboard 1.3 : positioning

[bast]

hi
I would like to have a diagram for the positioning of the toolboard and its accelerometer to configure it on my Vcore
Nuramori's "graphical guide to help illustrate the orientation options" link no longer works on dropbox
Thanks

@bast the link in this section works for me https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Sensors_Accelerometer#orientation
Link to pdf: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hu2w5mk57l4zqpg/Accelerometer Orientation.pdf?dl=0

@droftarts this link no longer works on dropbox
Attached is a photo of my toolboard on my machine with the axes, which configuration on the accelerometer should I use for the position of the accelerometer
THANKS

it s correct for the orientation of accelerometer?
M955 P121.0 I54 ?good orientation?
thanks

I can't explain it. It works fine for me in a browser on my laptop, and on my phone. It does seem to use a Dropbox PDF viewer, maybe you have Javascript turned off? Unfortunately, I can't troubleshoot why something Dropbox does doesn't work for you! I will update our documentation, though. The reason I haven't done it before is because to show all the orientations requires 24 images!

Yes, that looks correct. Z is pointing in the -Y direction, X is pointing in the -X direction. So according to

The first digit specifies which machine direction the Z axis of the accelerometer chip (usually the top face of the chip) faces, as follows: 0 = +X, 1 = +Y, 2 = +Z, 4 = -X, 5 = -Y, 6 = -Z. The second digit expresses which direction the X axis of the accelerometer chip faces, using the same code.

that should be 5 and 4, so M955 P[CAN_address] I54. Here's a screenshot of @Nuramori's (thanks!) pdf (which I just took) for good measure.

@droftarts it works for me on dropbox too! maybe add a mirror on google drive or the likes?

I have updated the documentation page using images from the pdf kindly supplied by @Nuramori. Unfortunately I can't upload pdfs to the wiki software, so I have left the original link in.

nice documentation update for orientation toolboard !
thanks a lot @droftarts !
little pics of my config on a RR-Vcore 500 on duet 5+mini with toolboard (Ir sensor on toolboard)
