Simulator
This program only works when on the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express. You have to download it first before trying it out.
set Accelerometer Range
Set how the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express will measure g-force or acceleration (how much the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express is speeding up or slowing down). This block is used to set the most g-force you will want to measure.
input.setAccelerometerRange(AcceleratorRange.OneG);Parameters
rangethe biggest g-force (acceleration) number you will measure:1g,2g,4g, or8g. Any bigger numbers measured by your Adafruit Circuit Playground Express are ignored. So, you won’t receive events or measurments to your program when a bigger g-force occurs.
Example
Set the highest g-force that your Adafruit Circuit Playground Express will measure up to 4 g. Then, write to serial the acceleration measured when you move the board side to side.
input.setAccelerometerRange(AcceleratorRange.FourG)
forever(() => {
serial.writeNumber(input.acceleration(Dimension.X))
