Acceleration

Get the acceleration value (milli g-force), in one of three specified dimensions.

Find the acceleration of the micro:bit (how fast it is speeding up or slowing down).

input.acceleration(Dimension.X);

~hint

You measure acceleration with the milli-g, which is 1/1000 of a g. A g is as much acceleration as you get from Earth's gravity.

dimension means which direction you are checking for acceleration, either Dimension.X (left and right), Dimension.Y (forward and backward), or Dimension.Z (up and down)

a number that means the amount of acceleration. When the micro:bit is lying flat on a surface with the screen pointing up, x is 0, y is 0, and z is -1023.

This example shows the acceleration of the micro:bit with a bar graph.

basic.forever(() => {
    led.plotBarGraph(input.acceleration(Dimension.X), 1023)
})
