By default, an interrupt pin is used to detect motion. This results in lower traffic on the bus (i2c or SPI), but also requires special drivers for the BMI160. + ## Setting Variables To change the sensitivity of impact detection you must edit the `motionMonitor/motionMonitor.c` file. The Accelerometer measures acceleration in 3 dimensions, X, Y, and Z. These dimensions of acceleration are recorded and the magnitude of their resulting vector is calculated using ``double impactMagnitude = sqrt(x * x + y * y + z * z);``. As visualized in the image below. |
