Hello, can someone point me to some example or give me some help on getting Accelerometer data with Mangoh Yellow? I need a continuous reading of x,y,z data. Please the easy way cause I’m new to the platform. Regards, Gianmaria ---

Do you see the accelerometer/gyroscope directory? > [@Mangoh Yellow - Magnetometer Not Connected?](https://mangoh.discourse.group/t/mangoh-yellow-magnetometer-not-connected/3135): > > Hi guys, I’m having some issues getting data from the built in magnetometer on the MangOH yellow. According to the sample app, the sys interface implemented by the kernel module should be here: /sys/bus/i2c/devices/6-0010/iio:device1/ However, this directory does not exist. Any ideas why this would be? The accelerometer/gyroscope directory exists and that’s working fine. -Nick ---

Hello, yes i’ve the accel directory under: /sys/device/…/x\_value\_xxxxxxx I see values changing whit simple cat command, but what i really need is to receive a signal (even a GPIO state change) when accellerometer is high or when it goes over a “quiet” level. My question is… can i receive data from accelerometer without reading files (x,y,z) ? Can i set a range on accelerometer and read a GPIO high or low when this level is overcomed? Regards, Gianmaria PS: in same time i’m studing documentation and wll report any info here. ---

I think you need to study the accelerometer chipset and see if it has such function. ---

Problem solved. for anyone having same problem can contact me and I will share solution/code. Anyway i done in this way: 1. Accelerometer BMI160 with default setting signal movement on INT2. 2. I attached an event handler on GPIO 21 (Int2 connected to WP7702). Gpio naturally must be set as input. Regards. Gianmaria ---

Hi, I am new to this field. I need to use a MangOH yellow Board for having accelerometer data and send it to octave. Please help me ---

hi @gianmariaiaculo, i have the same problem as you, i need to read de accelometer sensor and then sed the data to my own server. Ho do you solved it? could you please help me? thanks in advance Iker
