# Bluetooth Accelerometer Service
|
||||||
|

|

|
||||||
|
The Bluetooth accelerometer service allows another device such as a smartphone to wirelessly receive data from the micro:bit's accelerometer. An accelerometer detects motion. More precisely, it measures acceleration in one or more of three directions which we call X, Y and Z.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Using the Bluetooth accelerometer service you could, for example, create a smartphone application which makes a loud noise whenever your micro:bit (or the important thing you've attached it to) is moved. Or you could use your micro:bit to control the movement of a cartoon character in a game on your smartphone just by tilting the micro:bit in the direction you want the character to move in.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
No additional code is needed on the micro:bit to use the Bluetooth accelerometer service from another device.

bluetooth.startAccelerometerService();

### Example: Starting the Bluetooth accelerometer service
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following code shows the Bluetooth accelerometer service being started:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
~~~~blocks
|
||||||
|
bluetooth.startAccelerometerService();
|
||||||
|
