Introduction to Acceleration
The Acceleration feature allows users to measure the acceleration of the micro:bit in milli g-force across three dimensions: X, Y, and Z. This functionality is essential for understanding how fast the micro:bit is speeding up or slowing down in various directions. Users can access the acceleration values through simple code commands, making it an excellent tool for educational purposes, especially in STEM-related projects.
Key Features:
- Multi-Dimensional Measurement: Get acceleration values in three dimensions (X, Y, Z) or the combined strength of acceleration.
- Real-Time Data: Measure how the micro:bit responds to movements in real-time, useful for interactive projects.
- Educational Use Cases: Ideal for teaching concepts of physics, mathematics, and programming through hands-on activities.
Use Cases:
- STEM Education: Integrate into lessons about forces, motion, and gravity.
- Interactive Projects: Create games or applications that respond to physical movement, enhancing user engagement.
- Data Collection: Use in experiments to collect data on motion and acceleration for analysis.
