Hi everyone.
I'd need to be able to record accelerometers values and graph them later.
The measure should last around 30 minutes.
Can anyone recommend an application for that?
Thanks in advance.

the only thing you need to do is to pipe /dev/input/event2 or
/dev/input/event3 into a file. The analysis of the data can be done
later. You will get a lot of data though after 30 minutes.
This is a python script reading and evaluating the data. Its not mine. I
think I got it from the wiki somewhere.
Do a hexdump /dev/input/event3 to get an impression how much data we are
talking about first.
#!/usr/bin/python
import struct
from math import sqrt
x = 0
y = 0
z = 0
secondsensorfile = /dev/input/event2
#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 / 100.0
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()
