Is there an accelerometer on the Wipy?

If not, what is the easiest and most support option?

As far as I can tell, some versions of the 'pyboard' have an accelerometer, the BBC micro:bit has one, but the WiPy doesn't - can anyone confirm or deny this please?

If it's no for the WiPy, how about something like this? https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13944

But I guess the best would be if you used something compatible with the MicroPython 'Accel' library, so some research is needed.

As far as the docs go I couldn't find a reference to an accelerometer. I guess that's a no. Thank you for the link.

@betabrain There are drivers for MPU9150 and MPU9250 modules here https://github.com/micropython-IMU. The cheaper MPU6150 is supported. These were written for the Pyboard: some adaptation will be required for the WiPy but I'd expect changes to be minor (mainly discarding pyb in favour of machine).

Are there any other changes other than pyb --> machine ?
Do some of the function names change ?
