@boardname@ orientation

A #microbit library that exposes accelerometer events.

A simple library that exposes events to detect

• detect that the screen is facing up and the board is horizontal

onScreenUp(() => {
    micro_bit.showString("screen up", 100)
})

• detect that the screen is facing down and the board is horizontal

onScreenDown(() => {
    micro_bit.showString("screen down", 100)
})

• detect when the logo is up and the board is vertical

onLogoUp(() => {
    micro_bit.showString("logo up", 100)
})

• detect when the logo is down and the board is vertical

onLogoDown(() => {
    micro_bit.showString("r", 100)
})

• detect that the device is shaken

onShake(() => {
    micro_bit.showString("shake", 100)
})
