STM CircleOS forum / Making the MEMS sensor act like buttons

My program requires 4 input buttons. I want to tilt the Circle either up, down, left or right to simulate the four button presses. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks

If you don't use the pointer in your program, you can use the pointer to select a "virtual button on the screen" then the single button could be consiodered. It's what we do in the menu selection (or in the time setting...).

Thanks Francis.

Yes I could do that, I was initially thinking that I could tilit it one way to 'press a button' and then centre it to release, but using the menu function is a good idea.

I believe that we have to invent the handling of the MEMS to replace a set of buttons, but it's not so easy...
I already tried to make -as an option- the replacement of the existing button (for the menu selection) by a kind of double-click detected by the MEMS, but it was not very easy to use. It has been removed (waiting for a better solution).
