Hello, I want to make a setup to calibrate the accelerometers, and I know for this purpose there are shaker tables available commercially but I want to to built it using Arduino. I heard from someone that Arduino has developed some sort of sensor for this purpose.., Can anyone tell me the name and part # to order. Thanks
Isn't gravity working properly where you are?

What accelerometers? Are they MEMS?

Most people take advantage of the fact that the acceleration along any vertical axis is 1 g or -1 g (depending on orientation), when the accelerometer is held still.
The simplest approach is to calculate a separate offset and scale factor for each axis, following this outline: Programming and Calibration | ADXL345 Digital Accelerometer | Adafruit Learning System
