Marwan Alsabbagh has been coding in some form or other since before the web existed and has continued to develop software, with a particular passion for Python, his preferred programming language, for over a decade. He has been a speaker at a number of global Python conferences, where he has been known to present microcontroller projects with a healthy dose of humor and stage theatrics. The snow globe intruder alert system, which he created with his creative and curious daughters, was one of his favorite MicroPython projects. His research interests include software engineering, microcontrollers, and 3D printing.

Reading data from the motion sensor

In this recipe, we will create a loop that continually reads from the accelerometer and prints the x, y, and z axes' data. Printing output will help us experiment with how the sensor will react to shaking the board or tilting it in different directions. Once you get a sense of how the sensor works, you can start incorporating it into projects to have your board react to tilt or acceleration.

Getting ready

You will need access to the REPL on Circuit Playground Express to run the code presented in this recipe.
