Driver for the NXP FXOS8700 accelerometer and magnetometer.

accelerometer

Read the acceleration from the accelerometer and return its X, Y, Z axis values as a 3-tuple in m/s^2.

magnetometer

Read the magnetometer values and return its X, Y, Z axis values as a 3-tuple in uTeslas.

read_raw_accel_mag()

Read the raw accelerometer and magnetometer readings. Returns a 2-tuple of 3-tuples:

• Accelerometer X, Y, Z axis 14-bit signed raw values
• Magnetometer X, Y, Z axis 16-bit signed raw values

If you want the acceleration or magnetometer values in friendly units consider using the accelerometer and magnetometer properties!
