Accelerometer Sensor

The Advanced motion sensor can report acceleration, and it can be derived from results for the Distance Ultrasonic sensor. View these motion sensors HERE.

 

This sensor calculates the magnitude of the acceleration vector or the directional acceleration for the selected axis depending on the mode selected. Both 2 axis and 3 axis versions are available.
