Accel Sample

This sample demonstrates reading the 3D acceleration data.

To run the sample:

1. Download the sample code from https://github.com/Turta-io/IoTHAT3/blob/master/Samples/Python/Accel.py

2. Copy the sample code to a folder on the Raspberry Pi.

3. Open terminal, and then go to the folder you copied the sample.

4. Run the sample with the following command:

python3 Accel.py

Sample Code

Accel.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3

#This sample reading the 3D acceleration data.
#Install IoT HAT 3 library with "pip3 install turta-iothat3"

from time import sleep
from turta_iothat3 import Turta_Accel

#Initialize
accel = Turta_Accel.AccelTiltSensor()

try:
    while True:
        #Read X, Y and Z-Axis G values in one shot
        accel_xyz = accel.read_accel_xyz()

        #Read the readings
        print("X-Axis..........: " + str(round(accel_xyz[0], 2)) + "G")
        print("Y-Axis..........: " + str(round(accel_xyz[1], 2)) + "G")
        print("Z-Axis..........: " + str(round(accel_xyz[2], 2)) + "G")

        #Wait
        print("-----")
        sleep(0.2)

#Exit on CTRL+C
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print('Bye.')

Result

When you run the sample, it prints 3D acceleration data. The example output should be like this:

X-Axis..........: 0G
Y-Axis..........: 0G
Z-Axis..........: 0G
