Hi,

I am starting a new GPS tracking project and all is successful, but I am wondering what “accelerometer IO errors” indicates… I have seen about 4 of these errors so far, but spread apart several hours with normal events & uploads in between (image below is filtered to \_health.qo file):

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/blues/original/1X/89ca9154c03977e9c0e5958c35432275ca84b604.png)

I am simply curious of what this means specifically, and what may be causing this. It does not seem to be inhibiting any of my devices function but I figure I shouldn’t ignore it.

Thank you! 🙂

Hi @tsuzenski,

You can safely ignore these messages unless you find the accelerometer on the Notecard stops functioning (for example, if the Notecard stops responding to motion entirely). If this happens though, please let us know!

Thanks,  
Rob
