Hi!

I’m attempting to build a way to categorize the intensity that the user shakes their phone. From there, the hope was to take the value and bucket into categories. Those categories would then trigger the next steps. Any thoughts on how to accomplish?

Hi,

First, you need to understand what happens when the user shakes the phone intensely and not intensely. Plot the dependence of the parameter value on time and see what the difference is, or figure out what Accelerometer is and how it works.
