1.10.3 Using the Gyroscope to Trigger Speaker and RGB Output

In this example, the sheenbot∞ uses its built-in gyroscope sensor to detect specific movements or orientations. When a defined motion condition is met—such as tilting or shaking—the program activates an RGB LED to glow red, providing a visual alert. Simultaneously, the speaker is triggered to audibly respond by speaking a custom message and playing a ringtone. This integration of motion sensing and audio-visual feedback demonstrates how users can build interactive and responsive projects using sheenbot∞’s onboard sensors and outputs.

Here’s how the sheenbot∞ uses its gyroscope to trigger the speaker and RGB lights:

• Continuously monitor the gyroscope orientation
• Check if tilt or movement meets the defined condition (e.g., specific angle or shake)
• If condition is met:
  • Turn on RGB LED 2 (red) to indicate trigger
  • Use speaker to say a custom message (e.g., "Motion detected!")
  • Play a ringtone (e.g., "ring_1") using the speaker
