The x
read-only property of the Magnetometer
interface returns a double precision integer containing the magnetic field around the device's x axis.
If a feature policy blocks use of a feature it is because your code is inconsistent with the policies set on your server. This is not something that would ever be shown to a user. See Feature-Policy
for implementation instructions.
Syntax
var magnetometerx = magnetometer.x
Value
A Number
.
Example
The magnetometer is typically read in the Sensor.onreading
event callback. In the example below this occurs sixty times a second.
let magSensor = new Magnetometer({frequency: 60}); magSensor.addEventListener('reading', e => { console.log("Magnetic field along the X-axis " + magSensor.x); console.log("Magnetic field along the Y-axis " + magSensor.y); console.log("Magnetic field along the Z-axis " + magSensor.z); }); magSensor.start();
