Can anyone get
[https://p5js.org/examples/mobile-acceleration-color.html](https://p5js.org/examples/mobile-acceleration-color.html)
to work? I’ve tried it on multiple devices that have accelerometers and the background color does not change with movement,
Thanks,
R.L. Hamm

good, means you have updated systems and browser…

now how about your device settings?
did you enable that sensor for the browser? and that page?

That must be something unique to that page, I’ve never heard of giving a web page special access to my accelerometer, how can it be a security breach for them to know how my phone is tilted? I can’t even find info on how to give them rights to have this happen as I’ve never had the sensors not work anywhere, this is new to me. How do I get around this?
Thanks

I loaded the webpage on a recent Android phone and pressed “Run”. Nothing happened. I then pressed “Display sketch” and the sketch became visible in the window – its background was correctly responding to acceleration when I shook the phone.
