Bluetooth Accelerometer Service
The Bluetooth Accelerometer Service enables smartphones and other devices to wirelessly receive data from the micro:bit's accelerometer, which detects motion by measuring acceleration in three directions: X, Y, and Z. This service allows for innovative applications, such as creating a smartphone app that triggers sounds based on the micro:bit's movement or controlling game characters by tilting the micro:bit. No additional code is required on the micro:bit to utilize this service, making it user-friendly and accessible for developers and educators alike.
Key Features:
- Wireless Data Exchange: Connects smartphones to the micro:bit for real-time data transfer.
- Motion Detection: Utilizes the accelerometer to detect movement in multiple directions.
- Easy Integration: Simple command to start the service:
bluetooth.startAccelerometerService();
Use Cases:
- Gaming: Control characters in mobile games by tilting the micro:bit.
- Alerts: Trigger notifications or sounds on a smartphone when the micro:bit is moved.
- Educational Projects: Enhance learning experiences in STEM education by integrating motion sensing into projects.
