cube with MPU6050 to switch by pitch and roll

Thx @Mr.Peu, here I recorded a short video (it is really unstable, because of one handed work)
short preview video

It looks better and is really stable if the MPU lays on the desk and you flip and rotate it.
Next steps:

• get some OLED displays (currently I have 2 with CS pin and 2 without)
  
• connect all displays to Pico
  
• laser cut cube and built everything in
  
  

This is the current source code from the video:

var mpu;
var direction = -1;
var maxAccThreshold = 15000;
var maxRotThreshold = 5000;
var value = 0;
var detectRotation = false;

// get sum of all values
function getSum(xyz) {
  return (Math.abs(xyz[0])+Math.abs(xyz[1])+Math.­abs(xyz[2]));
}

// get -1 or 1 for each value depending on the acceleration reach the threshold
function getDirectionByAccelerationThreshold(xzzA­cc) {
  var xyzAccDir = [0,0,0];
  var index = 0;
  xzzAcc.forEach(function(xyzValue) {
    if (xyzValue < -maxAccThreshold) xyzAccDir[index] = -1;
    if (xyzValue > maxAccThreshold)  xyzAccDir[index] = 1;    
    index++;
  });
  return xyzAccDir;
}

// get direction (up,down,left,right,back,front) by xyz
function getDirection(xyzAcc) {
  var newDirection = -1;

  return newDirection;
}
