I used the python script from the wiki and it delivered only zeros. #!/usr/bin/python import struct from math import sqrt x = 0 y = 0 z = 0 secondsensorfile = "/dev/input/event3" #int, int, short, short, int fmt = 'iihhi' #open file in binary mode in_file = open(secondsensorfile,"rb") event = in_file.read(16) while event: (time1,time2, type, code, value) = \ struct.unpack(fmt,event) time = time1 + time2 / 1000000.0 if type == 2: if code == 0: x = value if code == 1: y = value if code == 2: z = value if type == 0 and code == 0: sum = int(sqrt(x*x + y*y + z*z)) print x, y, z, sum event = in_file.read(16) in_file.close() _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
