Does anybody know how to read out the motion sensors in a Macbook…?
==» using a (shell) script …?
You might find some help here Eelco: The Apple Motion Sensor As A Human Interface Device by Amit Singh.
Thanks Adam,
Somehow I remember that page - but it’s updated.
Thanks for pointing out…!
However, I installed AMStracker (http://www.kernelthread.com/software/ams/ams.html)
and I can call ./AMSTracker which returns the x,y,z values in a string like
“-9, -1, 30”
However, I am unable to convert “-9” into a number yet…
I get a list of characters like so:
set AMS to paragraph 2 of (do shell script "/Users/adambell/Desktop/SuddenMotion/AMSTracker/AMSTracker") as Unicode text
set C to text items of AMS --> " -3 0 43"
And from there, I’d find contiguous minus signs and/or numbers and convert those to integer. (haven’t done it).
