Hello everyone!
I have to admit I am very much a hobbyist with patches of knowledge, so I’m hoping for some kind and straight forward advice
I’m want my Electric Imp to send data from an accelerometer on one of it’s pins, to a web server (which I can see is relatively simple) but I’m looking to only send data when the accelerometer is active; if the imp isn’t moving, I don’t want to know about it. On the web server end, I will be essentially creating a “timer” to capture how long the electric imp has been in motion, so for example if the imp has been picked up and moved in any way, I want to time how long the imp gets interacted with, and once it is put down, I want it to stop timing.
I can’t work out how best to implement this, or if it is possible without spending my money on components now.
Does anyone have any advice or experience here?
Thanks a lot!
Tom
