  • The accelerometer's data sheet ( https://kionixfs.kionix.com/en/datasheet/KX023-1025%20Specifications%20Rev%2012.0.pdf ) states on page 8:
    Current Consumption
    High Resolution Mode 145 uA (0.145 mA)
    Low Power Mode 10 uA
    Standby 0.9 uA
    As "Acceleration sensing is based on the principle of a differential
    capacitance arising from acceleration-induced motion of the sense
    element"
    I don't expect a current change in the device itself when in motion - only if switching from Low Power Mode to High Resolution Mode when a motion is detected.
