+class Accel --- accelerometer control
+=====================================
+
+Accel is an object that controls the accelerometer. Example usage::
+
+ accel = pyb.Accel()
+ for i in range(10):
+ print(accel.x(), accel.y(), accel.z())
+
+Raw values are between -32 and 31.
+
+
+Constructors
+------------
+
+.. class:: pyb.Accel()
+
+ Create and return an accelerometer object.
+
+ Note: if you read accelerometer values immediately after creating this object
+ you will get 0. It takes around 20ms for the first sample to be ready, so,
+ unless you have some other code between creating this object and reading its
+ values, you should put a ``pyb.delay(20)`` after creating it. For example::
+
+ accel = pyb.Accel()
+ pyb.delay(20)
+ print(accel.x())
+
+
+Methods
+-------
+
+.. method:: accel.filtered_xyz()
+
+ Get a 3-tuple of filtered x, y and z values.
+
+.. method:: accel.tilt()
+
+ Get the tilt register.
+
+.. method:: accel.x()
+
+ Get the x-axis value.
+
+.. method:: accel.y()
+
+ Get the y-axis value.
+
+.. method:: accel.z()
+
+ Get the z-axis value.
