TCP/IP - Accelerometer Bricklet¶

Basic Functions¶

BrickletAccelerometer.get_acceleration¶

Function ID:	1
Request:	empty payload
Response:	x – Type: int16, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? y – Type: int16, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? z – Type: int16, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ?

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by set_acceleration_callback_period. The response values are the X, Y and Z acceleration. The range is configured with set_configuration.

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by set_acceleration_callback_threshold is reached. The response values are the X, Y and Z acceleration. The range is configured with set_configuration.

If the threshold keeps being reached, the callback is triggered periodically with the period as set by set_debounce_period.
