Simple cross platform plugin to access device sensors.
- Access to accelerometer
- Access to gyroscope
- Access to magnetometer
- Access to barometer
- Access to pedometer
- Available on NuGet: http://www.nuget.org/packages/Plugin.DeviceSensors
- Install into your PCL project and Client projects.

}Usage sample:
Accelerometer
if(CrossDeviceSensors.Current.Accelerometer.IsSupported)
{
CrossDeviceSensors.Current.Accelerometer.OnReadingChanged += (s,a)=>{
};
CrossDeviceSensors.Current.Accelerometer.StartReading();
}
Gyroscope
if(CrossDeviceSensors.Current.Gyroscope.IsSupported)
{
CrossDeviceSensors.Current.Gyroscope.OnReadingChanged += (s,a)=>{
};
CrossDeviceSensors.Current.Gyroscope.StartReading();
}
Magnetometer
if(CrossDeviceSensors.Current.Magnetometer.IsSupported)
{
CrossDeviceSensors.Current.Magnetometer.OnReadingChanged += (s,a)=>{
};
CrossDeviceSensors.Current.Magnetometer.StartReading();
}
