get_accelerometer()

Description

This function gets the accelerometer sensor data, which returns x, y, and z.
It outputs to the UI in Blockly and as a class in Python as a struct in Arduino.

Syntax

Python: get_accelerometer()
Arduino: getAccelerometer()

Parameters

None

Returns

Outputs to visual UI. In code, it returns a class in Python and struct in Arduino.

Example Code

Python

#Python code

import CoDrone

drone = CoDrone.CoDrone()

drone.pair()

# print the acceleration of drone

acceleration = drone.get_accelerometer()

print(acceleration.X, acceleration.Y, acceleration.Z)

drone.close()

Arduino

//Arduino code

//Code for print request data to serial monitor

#include<CoDrone.h> //header

void setup(){

//open serial and connect

CoDrone.begin(115200);

CoDrone.pair(Nearest);

}

void loop(){

// Struct for get accelerometer data

acceldata accel;

CoDrone.Send_LinkModeBroadcast(LinkBroadcast_Active); //link module mode change => Active

accel = CoDrone.getAccelerometer(); //save request data

delay(100);

CoDrone.Send_LinkModeBroadcast(LinkModeMute); //link module mode change => Mute

delay(100);

Serial.println("");

Serial.println("--------- Now -----------");

Serial.print("accel x : \t");

Serial.println(accel.x);

Serial.print("accel y : \t");

Serial.println(accel.y);

Serial.print("accel z : \t");

Serial.println(accel.z);
