`thingz.thingz_accel`

Thingz accelerometer

class thingz.thingz_accel.Accel

Control Galaxia’s accelerometer

get_x() → float

get_y() → float

get_z() → float

get_values() → list

Returns:: the acceleration values of the 3 axis in a list. Index 0 is X, 1 is Y, 2 is Z
Return type:: list

current_gesture() → str

Get the current gesture. Can be on of the following value:

is_gesture(gesture: str) → bool

was_gesture(gesture: str) → bool

Parameters:: gesture (str) – the gesture to test
Returns:: True if the gesture has been active since the last call to this function
Return type:: bool

get_gestures() → list

on_gesture(gesture: str, callback: Callable[str | None]) → None

Register a callaback bind to press event

Parameters:

gesture (str) – The gesture to bind the callback to
callback (Callable[Optional[str]]) – The function to call when the event occurs. When called the gesture will be passed as paramater

class thingz.thingz_accel.Compass

Control Galaxia’s magnetometer

get_x() → float

get_y() → float

get_values() → list

Returns:: the magnetic field values of the 3 axis in a list. Index 0 is X, 1 is Y, 2 is Z
Return type:: list

heading() → float

calibrate(calibration_time: int, nb_of_samples: int) → None

Calibrate the magnetometer. During the calibration the board has to be rotated along the Z axis

Parameters:

calibration_time (int) – Time to spend on the calibration, value is in seconds
nb_of_samples (int) – Number of sample to take
