Accelerometer Weight Scale
Hi I was reading how the accelerometer uses gas and thermometers to determine the x y z locations, from what I can tell, by using the gas technique, if u had the accelerometer flat and level on a table, if you added weight to it, it wouldn't know the difference correct? I'm wondering if there is some way to program it to detect weight to be used as a scale.
If this could be done, I think it would be awsome to beable to weigh things with devices that use accelerometers such as mobile phones
Thank you!

Here's the formula: T = 2π sqrt(m / k), where T = period (seconds), m = mass (kg), k = spring constant (N/m)

Or, as this is electronics related, how about electrical tape, then you can even have your choice of colors to match the phone.
