Both the Pysense and Pytrack use the same accelerometer. Please see the Pysense Examples to see how to use the accelerometer.

Note: You need to add the libraries from here in the lib folder of your project before the example will work. You can also find the example in there.

Example

import machine
import math
import network
import os
import time
import utime
import gc
from machine import RTC
from machine import SD
from L76GNSS import L76GNSS
from pytrack import Pytrack

time.sleep(2)
gc.enable()

# setup rtc
rtc = machine.RTC()
rtc.ntp_sync("pool.ntp.org")
utime.sleep_ms(750)
print('\nRTC Set from NTP to UTC:', rtc.now())
utime.timezone(7200)
print('Adjusted from UTC to EST timezone', utime.localtime(), '\n')

py = Pytrack()
l76 = L76GNSS(py, timeout=30)

# sd = SD()
# os.mount(sd, '/sd')
# f = open('/sd/gps-record.txt', 'w')

while (True):
    coord = l76.coordinates()
    #f.write("{} - {}\n".format(coord, rtc.now()))
    print("{} - {} - {}".format(coord, rtc.now(), gc.mem_free()))
