I have the following code on my puck.js (firmware 2v21):

require("puckjsv2-2v05-fix");

function cPrint(s)
{
  print("" + getTime() + " " + s);
}

Puck.on('accel',function(a) {
  cPrint(a.acc.x + " " + a.acc.y + " " + a.acc.z);
});
Puck.accelOn(1.6);

With or without the first line, I get logs like this:

The intervals at which the accelerometer values change are indeed about 1.6Hz but the function itself is called way too often! What is going on here? How can I fix this?

Okay, I solved it by repowering the puck. Hopefully this helps future users with the same problem

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
