Device held at various angles and the acceleromter coordinates for those angles?

[ratty]

Is there any documentation on this? I've dug through the board but haven't found any conclusive data.

My goal in this is to determine if the device is being held between 0-45 or 45-90 degrees when a touch has occurred. I'm finding it VERY hard to figure this out with these ever-changing accelerometer X,Y,Z variables!

Add the accelerometer object, then grab the x and y values from it and put it in the atan2( y, x ) function. You could add a counter to your frame to display the value while testing, so you can get your bearings with the angles returned.

You can multiply the accelerometer values out first (eg: by 100.0 ) if the precision causes problems for you.

Does this angle extension for MMF not give you what you need?

Between my iDevices and laptop, I'm getting weird double posts. So sorry if my other response actualy IS on here. In case its not, I'm looking to tilt the device between being held upright at a 90 degree angle in portrait mode, to being tilted flat down backwards against a table. The extension only seemed to do left/right, unless I'm dumb as hell and am missing something. I wouldnt be surprised at all if it's me and not hte extension. lol
