GetAccelerator
Reads the current value of the HiTechnic acceleration sensor
Contents
Syntax
acc_vector = GetAccelerator(port)
acc_vector = GetAccelerator(port, handle)
Description
acc_vector = GetAccelerator(port) returns the current 1x3 accelerator vector acc_vector of the HiTechnic acceleration sensor. The column vector contains the readings of the x, y, and z-axis, respectively. A reading of 200 is equal to the acceleration of 1g. Maximum range is -2g to +2g. The given port number specifies the connection port. The value port can be addressed by the symbolic constants SENSOR_1 , SENSOR_2, SENSOR_3 and SENSOR_4 analog to the labeling on the NXT Brick.
The last optional argument can be a valid NXT handle. If none is specified, the default handle will be used (call COM_SetDefaultNXT to set one).
Example
OpenAccelerator(SENSOR_4); acc_Vector = GetAccelerator(SENSOR_4); CloseSensor(SENSOR_4);
