AccelerometerSensor

Last Updated On 2021-07-16

Non-visible component that can detect shaking and measure acceleration approximately in three dimensions using SI units (m/s²). The components are:

xAccel: 0 when the phone is at rest on a flat surface, positive when the phone is tilted to the right (i.e., its left side is raised), and negative when the phone is tilted to the left (i.e., its right size is raised).
yAccel: 0 when the phone is at rest on a flat surface, positive when its bottom is raised, and negative when its top is raised.
zAccel: Equal to -9.8 (earth's gravity in meters per second per second when the device is at rest parallel to the ground with the display facing up, 0 when perpendicular to the ground, and +9.8 when facing down. The value can also be affected by accelerating it with or against gravity.

You can set the below properties in the UI part of the builder.

Enabled - it's a boolean value which is set to true by default.
LegacyMode - it's a boolean value which is set to false by default.
MinimumInterval - it's a non negative integer value which is set to 400 by default.
Sensitivity - it's a accelerometer sensitivity value which is set to 2 by default.

You can set the below blocks properties in the blocks section of the builder.

Returns whether the accelerometer is available on the device.

If true, the sensor will generate events. Otherwise, no events are generated even if the device is accelerated or shaken.

The minimum interval, in milliseconds, between phone shakes

A number that encodes how sensitive the accelerometer is. The choices are: 1 = weak, 2 = moderate, 3 = strong.

Returns the acceleration in the X-dimension in SI units (m/s²). The sensor must be enabled to return meaningful values.

Returns the acceleration in the Y-dimension in SI units (m/s²). The sensor must be enabled to return meaningful values.

Returns the acceleration in the Z-dimension in SI units (m/s²). The sensor must be enabled to return meaningful values.

You can set the below event blocks in the blocks section of the builder.

Indicates the acceleration changed in the X, Y, and/or Z dimensions.

Indicates the device started being shaken or continues to be shaken.
