readAcceleration

Read data from the accelerometer sensor on BBC micro:bit board

Syntax

[data] = readAcceleration(obj)

Description

[data] = readAcceleration(obj) reads data from the accelerometer sensor connected to the BBC micro:bit board, specified as a microbit object.

Examples

Read Acceleration

Create a connection to the BBC micro:bit hardware connected to the COM4 port, and read the acceleration along the three axes of the BBC micro:bit hardware port.

>>m = microbit('COM4');
>>[data] = readAcceleration(m)

data = 

   0.0781 -8.0124 0.0273

Input Arguments

obj — BBC micro:bit hardware connection

microbit object

BBC micro:bit hardware connection, specified as a microbit object, created with the microbit function.

Output Arguments

data — Data read from accelerometer sensor

double | ㎨
