Title: Accelerometer "Zero Out"
Post by: jerware on March 16, 2013, 04:36:04 PM

I'm experimenting with controls similar to the game Tilt to Live, where the player tilts the device to move objects on screen. I have it working, but the device needs to be parallel to the earth. I'd like to let the user hit a "calibrate" button that resets the neutral tilt of the device.

Would it be possible to write an action that does this? I can't quite figure out the math to do it myself yet, but I did find this good article about the subject.

Thanks!

Hi,

 I am currently fighting with this too. Unity 4 has apparently a new function to do that automatically, but I haven't had a chance to get there on that project just yet. More on this soon.

Bye,
