I write in Serial Terminal:
import pyb
pyb.Accel()
Answer is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OSError: accelerometer not found

Can anyone tell me what I do wrong?

I've got the same error, although I use a Pyboard v 1.1, and it should have one

Any idea whats wrong? Does it needs to be switched on first or something similar?

On a Pyboard 1.1 you should be able to issue at the REPL

Code: Select all

>>> import pyb
>>> a = pyb.Accel()
>>> a.filtered_xyz()

The last line should return something like (2, -7, 22). If you get an error please post it.

Are you sure you have a 1.1 board? The 1.0 LITE board doesn't have an accelerometer.

What does:

Code: Select all

import os
os.uname()

report for you?

There are also clone boards out there of dubious quality.
