The micro:bit board comes with built-in accelerometer and a compass that allows you to build applications that respond to the acceleration and magnetic field of the earth.
In this chapter, you learn how to take readings from the built-in accelerometer and compass (magnetometer) to build applications using MicroPython.
Accelerometer
The micro:bit has an on-board NXP/Freescale MMA8652 chip
(see Figure 5-1), which is a three-axis accelerometer that can be used to measure the acceleration. The accelerometer is internally connected to the micro:bit’s I2C ...
