Activity and Motion

Using the accelerometer

We are going to use a variables to create a jump counter. The variables are created by the programmer and will store the number of times the system senses a jump using the accelerometer

When A Button is pressed 
    score = 0

//create the new variable score

The accelerometer is an electro-magnetic device that can sense motion or vibrations - everytime it senses motion we want to increase the score by 1. So the input is the shake of the accelerometer

On Shake
   set score = score + 1
   

Now add some customization:

• When B Button is pressed display the score

• Create a high score variable

  • Forever if score > high score

    • set high score = score

    • Display new high score on LED Grid
