accelerometer module

accelerometer.accel_calibrate()

Initiates a calibration of the accelerometer.

Note

Not Yet Implemented

Returns:

1 for success, 0 for failure

Return type:

int

accelerometer.accel_x()

Gets the sensed x acceleration.

Wallaby: +/- 2G range, 1024 per G Wombat: +/- 2G range, 1024 per G

This should be approximately 0 when at rest and flat on a table.

Returns:

The latest signed x acceleration value

Return type:

int

accelerometer.accel_y()

Gets the sensed y acceleration.

Wallaby: +/- 2G range, 1024 per G Wombat: +/- 2G range, 1024 per G

This should be approximately 0 when at rest and flat on a table.

Returns:

The latest signed y acceleration value

Return type:

int

accelerometer.accel_z()

Gets the sensed z acceleration.

Wallaby: +/- 2G range, 1024 per G Wallaby: This should be approximately -1024 when at rest and flat on a table Wombat: +/- 2G range, 1024 per G Wombat: This should be approximately -512 when at rest and flat on a table

Returns:

The latest signed z acceleration value

Return type:

int
