The accelerometer is a hardware sensor used to detect a shake motion. William Francis shares the accelerometer code that he uses in his Android apps. Hardware, software, and the user are melding in ...

Data from the built-in 3-axis accelerometer of the Terasic DE10-Nano is measured on ALL 3 axes to show when the board is in motion. The raw output of the accelerometer is converted to g-force values ...

We all know about accelerometers and gyroscopes; they are primarily used to detect acceleration. While an Accelerometer can measure linear acceleration, the gyroscope can help find the rotational ...

Intel® System Studio for Microcontrollers includes multiple samples to help you get up to speed with its basic functionality and become familiar with the Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller Software ...

How do piezoelectric accelerometers — vibration sensors — work? The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the sensor's mass to “squeeze” contained piezoelectric ...

The classic SNES controller, often imitated but never duplicated, is borrowing motion controls from its Wii brethren courtesy this DIY hack over at Hackaday. The tutorial combines a Teensy USB ...
