Trying to use the accelerometer, the guide shows three call functions. But when I go look under the accelerometer after adding it, there are no call functions to be found. I added the gyroscope and found the ones for the gyroscope. Are these functions missing are am I blind??

Looks like theyre only available in the older ‘snap to place’ interface

Hello @pettengilld32a1wqr  
To use a sensor for example accelerometer on DnD interface you need to activate it in the blocks tab:

Then you can find the blocks here:

More information about sensors is in our docs: [https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/app-features/sensors-blocks](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/app-features/sensors-blocks)
