Test Tilts
Let’s test tilts: level, left, right, toward, and away from you.
When you vary the tilt angle from left to right, the x-axis accelerometer measurement values vary accordingly.
When you vary the tilt angle from facing toward you to facing away from you, the y-axis accelerometer measurement values also vary accordingly.
Example project: test_tilts_intro
- Enter this project and name it test_tilts_intro.
- Flash the project into the micro:bit
- Open the terminal at Google Chrome Labs Serial Terminal.
- Take measurements as shown in the animation, recording the x and y values for each tilt angle in the table below the animation.
