Hey,
I did ask around about it, and I was told the accelerometer was software
driven, and given the absence of software it just doesn't do anything.
I'll ask the engineer team if it's possible to release the specifications
for it.

I'm trying to get the sensor specs from IBM, but so far no luck. Is
anyone able to assist or knows the correct door to knock at?
