Gyro development

[Logicalstep]

Hi all,

New here so be gentle.

I'm interested in developing an application that uses the gyro in my touch hd.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find some resources on this?

many thanks

Hi logicalstep,

...it is an accelerometer, not a gyroscope. what do you want to do?

[Logicalstep]

I'd liek to start building apps that make use of the accelerometer. Such as customizing actions such as a shake or when you turn the phone over.

Obviously this can be done as HTC make use of it to mute the sound on a phone call.

Do you have any experience wit this ? Can you point me in the right direction?

There must be a way to access the functions of the accelerometer through and API or something in visual studio?

Much appreciated.
