Hello everyone,
I'm trying to work with the accelerometer/gyroscope in the puck.js v2.

I wrote a small script to transmitt accelerometer data over bluetooth as follows:

var running = false;

function accelHandlerTrigger(data) {
  console.log(data);
  var d = [
    "A",
    Math.round(data.acc.x),
    Math.round(data.acc.y),
    Math.round(data.acc.z)
  ];
  Bluetooth.println(d.join(","));
}

setWatch(function() {
  if (running) {
    Puck.accelOff();
    Puck.removeListener('accel', accelHandlerTrigger);
    running = false;
  } else {
    running = true;
    Puck.accelOn(52);
    Puck.on('accel', accelHandlerTrigger);
  }
}, BTN, {repeat:true});

However, the sensor measurements that I get seems to be too high. For example:

"acc": { "x": -342, "y": 398, "z": 8270 }, 
"gyro": { "x": 313, "y": -299, "z": -92 }

"acc": { "x": -319, "y": 371, "z": 8098 }, 
"gyro": { "x": 167, "y": -290, "z": -69 }

From my understanding, the accelerometer default is ±2g and the gyroscope default is ±125 dps.

Is this correct? or why are the values too high?
