This module gives you access for the first time to a hidden feature of N95 : the tiny accelerator (like Nokia 5500) with 3 different axes each with one hundred values!
This module deprecates the previous pyextaccel 0.9.2 module for N95, because pyextaccel using sensor API offers only 4 values in only one axis: X.
Nokia Research Center has developed a research and development library N95AccelerometerPlugin for accessing the accelerator with 3 axes!
So you must first install this library N95AccelerometerPlugin before installing aXYZ module.
In a later N95 firmware release you should be able to access the raw accelerometer data also by using the official sensor plug-in downloadable from Nokia Developer (Sensor Plug-in for 60 3rd Edition).
Now you make the light saber on the N95!
