Arduino101Accelerometer

The Arduino101Accelerometer component lets users configure the Arduino 101’s on-board accelerometer and receive one or more accelerometer samples via the appropriate methods.

• View the how to instructions for the Arduino 101 Accelerometer.

Properties

• BluetoothDevice – The BluetoothLE component with a connection to the Arduino 101.

Methods

• IsSupported – Check whether the accelerometer is currently available for the device connected via the BluetoothDevice property. If no device is currently connected, this method will always return false.

• ReadAccelerometerData – Read a single sample of accelerometer data from the Arduino. On successful read, the AccelerometerDataReceived event will be run.

• RequestAccelerometerDataUpdates – Request notifications of changes in the Arduino’s accelerometer. Accelerometer data will be reported through the AccelerometerDataReceived event.

• StopAccelerometerDataUpdates – Stop receiving updates from the Arduino’s accelerometer. Note that there may be pending messages from the device that will still be reported through the AccelerometerDataReceived event.

Events

• AccelerometerDataReceived – The AccelerometerDataReceived event is run whenever accelerometer samples are received from the Arduino 101. This is usually a result of performing a read or request operation. The X, Y, and Z values are in multiples of 1 Earth gravity (G=-9.8 m/s²).

  Parameters:

  • Accelerometer_X (number) — The X value of the accelerometer, in G.
  • Accelerometer_Y (number) — The Y value of the accelerometer, in G.
  • Accelerometer_Z (number) — The Z value of the accelerometer, in G.
