Module sensor 

SDL sensor management.

These APIs grant access to gyros and accelerometers on various platforms.

In order to use these functions, SDL_Init() must have been called with the SDL_INIT_SENSOR flag. This causes SDL to scan the system for sensors, and load appropriate drivers.

Structs

SDL_Sensor

The opaque structure used to identify an opened SDL sensor.

SDL_SensorID

This is a unique ID for a sensor for the time it is connected to the system, and is never reused for the lifetime of the application.

SDL_SensorType

The different sensors defined by SDL.

Constants

SDL_SENSOR_ACCEL

Accelerometer

SDL_SENSOR_ACCEL_L

Accelerometer for left Joy-Con controller and Wii nunchuk

SDL_SENSOR_ACCEL_R

Accelerometer for right Joy-Con controller

SDL_SENSOR_COUNT

SDL_SENSOR_GYRO

Gyroscope

SDL_SENSOR_GYRO_L

Gyroscope for left Joy-Con controller

SDL_SENSOR_GYRO_R

Gyroscope for right Joy-Con controller

SDL_SENSOR_INVALID

Returned for an invalid sensor

SDL_SENSOR_UNKNOWN

Unknown sensor type

SDL_STANDARD_GRAVITY

A constant to represent standard gravity for accelerometer sensors.
