Accelerometer

class wpilib.interfaces.Accelerometer

Bases: object

Interface for 3-axis accelerometers

class Range

Bases: object

k16G = 3

k2G = 0

k4G = 1

k8G = 2

Accelerometer.getX()

Common interface for getting the x axis acceleration

Returns:The acceleration along the x axis in g-forces

Accelerometer.getY()

Common interface for getting the y axis acceleration

Returns:The acceleration along the y axis in g-forces

Accelerometer.getZ()

Common interface for getting the z axis acceleration

Returns:The acceleration along the z axis in g-forces

Accelerometer.setRange(range)

Common interface for setting the measuring range of an accelerometer.

Parameters:range – The maximum acceleration, positive or negative, that the accelerometer will measure. Not all accelerometers support all ranges.
