RT1062 Cam Accelerometer example?

[yokonav]

Hi,

I wanted to use the accelerometer data using the OpenMV RT1062 Cam. Where can I find a basic example?

Thanks.

I found an example code in another post:

RT1062 accelerometer usage

Here’s what we got for right now. The accelerometer is really basic. I would have loved to include a full IMU, but we didn’t have the cost room. The one we are using is the least expensive one on the market (50 cents), full IMUs start at like 4-5 dollars and up which would have added $10 to the final system cost. Anyway, it’s really just for tilt sensing, which we will use in the future to allow you to rotate the video as the camera rotates. # Untitled - By: kwagy - Tue Aug 8 2023 import mach…

Though, the readings seem off for the Z-axis while resting on a plain surface.

Yeah, it’s not really the highest quality module, but the price was very good.

You’ll need to calibrate it.
