Previously<\/span><\/a>, I explained how to create a panorama and pivot effect for Windows Phone 7. In this blog post, I want to share a sample that will help you to create an accelerometer for Windows Phone 7. An accelerometer<\/b> is a device that measures the proper acceleration of the device. It is a sensor that measures acceleration forces caused by moving the sensor. In this application the accelerometer feature will allow you to determine the orientation and the motion of the phone. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now I will demonstrate how to create an accelerometer for Windows Phone 7, using Visual Basic for Windows Phone Developer Tools. Sounds interesting? So let’s begin. <\/span><\/p>\n

But hey, wait a minute! Before you create the accelerometer application, you need to install the following applications:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
