# accelerometer

A sensor that provides acceleration motion data.

## Declaration

```swift
static let accelerometer: SRSensor
```

## Mentioned in

Configuring your project for sensor reading

## Discussion

Discussion The sample type for this sensor is [CMRecordedAccelerometerData]. You need to provide a reason to record accelerometer data by adding the SRSensorUsageMotion dictionary to the NSSensorKitUsageDetail key in the information property list.
