accelerometer detection help, and tying that to the volume

wroachbarrette

Alrighty, this is what i need help with, i need to change the volume of something based on how hard the ipad is hit, and to do this, i want to use the accelerometer to first measure the jump in position, then relate that to another equation that would say, if the position was between say 5 and 10, then it would be this loud, and if it was this level, it would be this loud. Or even just have one attribute that related the jump in accelerometer to a louder volume

Well the accelerometer never gets higher than 1 and neither does the music volume. I would say you should constrain- Music volume -> ABS(accelerometer X,Y,or Z). Play around with the settings, Z would probably work.

Download this free app to help you get the right settings:

It gives you a constant read out of the accelerometer settings.

and it's free

or you could just make a simple GS project displaying the text of the X,Y,and Z LOL.
