So now we have an electro mechanica

So now we have an electro mechanical system that can sense movement and turn it into a changing capacitance value. The next step would be to design circuitry that can sense the change in capacitance and convert it into useful voltages or serial data. But that's beyond the scope of this tutorial. A modern MEMS accelerometer will contain structure similar to this, except with even more fingers to increase the surface area, which increases the capacitance, which makes changes in acceleration easier to detect. Now, you know how an accelerometer works. Thanks for watching.
