Rotation

Find how much the micro:bit is tilted in different directions.

input.rotation(Rotation.Roll);

Parameters

• kind means which direction you are checking: Rotation.Pitch (up and down) or Rotation.Roll (left and right)

Returns

• a number that means how much the micro:bit is tilted in the direction you ask for. This is a value in degrees between -180 to 180 in either the Rotation.Pitch or the Rotation.Roll direction of rotation.

Example: micro:bit leveler

This program helps you move the micro:bit until it is level. When it is level, the micro:bit shows a smiley.

If you are running this program in a browser, you can tilt the micro:bit with your mouse.

let pitch = 0; basic.forever(() => { pitch = input.rotation(Rotation.Pitch); let roll = input.rotation(Rotation.Roll); if (Math.abs(pitch) < 10 && Math.abs(roll) < 10) { basic.showLeds(` . # . # . . . . . . . . . . . # . . . # . # # # . `); } else { basic.showLeds(` # . . . # . # . # . . . # . . . # . # . # . . . # `); } });
