Getting KeyError for AccSensor

The code, as is, throws an error 'module' object has no attribute 'get'

I've modified the code to bypass that and things worked for the RotSensor but when I try the AccSensor, I get a KeyError.

The comment made about a month ago says "...you can not use this program directly on devices..."

I'm not sure what that means - if not devices then what...the emulator? I'm sure I'm missing something or mis-interpreting that comment. Any help?

Thanks!

All PySymbian articles have been archived. PySymbian is no longer maintained by Nokia and is not guaranteed to work on more recent Symbian devices. It is not possible to submit apps to Nokia Store.

This code snippet shows how to use the PySymbian Sensor module in pys60 to access the Symbian rotation and accelaration sensors. Note that the sensor framework has not been implemented in PySymbian . This is for use with older devices.

First of all import sensor and e32 module

import e32
import sensor

Now Lets see the available sensors

sensor.sensors()

To get the acceleration sensor

# if you wants to get Rotation sensor Change 'AccSensor' to 'RotSensor'
accsensor=sensor.get('AccSensor')

To get the id and category of acceleration sensor

id=accsensor.get('id')
cat=accsensor.get('cat')

Create a callback for sensor events

def printout(value):
    print value

Now lets get the object of Acceleration Sensor

senobj=sensor.Sensor(id,cat)

lets set an event filter for the acceleration filter

#if you are working with rotation sensor then change sensor.OrientationEventFilter() to sensor.RotEventFilter()
# if you wants to get low level data then sensor.EventFilter() which is the base event filter class.
senobj.set_event_filter(sensor.OrientationEventFilter())

lets connect to the sensor

senobj.connect(printout)

wait for 15 seconds

e32.ao_sleep(15)

Disconnect from the sensor

senobj.disconnect()

Thats it for now. the complete code is listed below for Acceleration Sensor:

# __author__='Fayyaz Ali'
# version = '1.0 beta'
# license='GNU GPL'
import e32
import sensor
sensor.sensors()
accsensor=sensor.get('AccSensor')
id=accsensor.get('id')
cat=accsensor.get('cat')
def printout(value):
    print value
senobj=sensor.Sensor(id,cat)
senobj.set_event_filter(sensor.OrientationEventFilter())
senobj.connect(printout)
e32.ao_sleep(15)
senobj.disconnect()

for Rotation Sensor:

# __author__='Fayyaz Ali'
# version = '1.0 beta'
# license='GNU GPL'
import e32
import sensor
sensor.sensors()
accsensor=sensor.get('RotSensor')
id=accsensor.get('id')
cat=accsensor.get('cat')
def printout(value):
    print value
senobj=sensor.Sensor(id,cat)
senobj.set_event_filter(sensor.RotEventFilter())
senobj.connect(printout)
e32.ao_sleep(15)
senobj.disconnect()
