Code Explained
droid.startSensingTimed(2,dt)
startSensingTimed(Integer sensorNumber: 1 = All, 2 = Accelerometer, 3 = Magnetometer and 4 = Light,
Integer delayTime: Minimum time between readings in milliseconds)
Starts recording sensor data to be available for polling. Generates "sensors" events.
print droid.sensorsReadAccelerometer().result
Returns the most recently received accelerometer values as a List of Floats [(acceleration on the) X axis, Y axis, Z axis].
