The y read-only property of the Accelerometer interface returns a number specifying the acceleration of the device along its y-axis.
A Number.
Acceleration is typically read in the reading event callback. In the example below this occurs sixty times a second.
js
const accelerometer = new Accelerometer({ frequency: 60 });
accelerometer.addEventListener("reading", (e) => {
console.log(`Acceleration along the X-axis ${accelerometer.x}`);
console.log(`Acceleration along the Y-axis ${accelerometer.y}`);
console.log(`Acceleration along the Z-axis ${accelerometer.z}`);
});
accelerometer.start();
