4. Running the demo

When the example runs successfully, you can see the similar information from the terminal as shown below.

Welcome to the BUBBLE example

You will see the change of LED brightness when change angles of board

x=  6 y = 22
x=  8 y = 26
x= 10 y = 28
x= 10 y = 28
x= 11 y = 29
x= 11 y = 29

5. FAQs

• If the user LED flashes constantly and the following message is printed on the console: Sensor device initialize failed!

  Please check the sensor chip U32

  please check if the combo sensor (U32) is presented on the board.
