Hello! I am trying to upload my C++ code downloaded from my EdgeImpulse project by following this link:
However, the code in the main.cc uses a fixed feature array for the input. How can i change it such that i can get the input from an external accelerometer? Thank you! 
Hello @weijunawj,
You will need to implement that yourself as it depends on which external accelerometer each user want to use.
You need to read the accelerometer data, store that in a buffer (the array where you can statically provide the features).
Here is an example of how we do that with the arduino example so you can understand the logic:

Let me know if you have anymore questions,

omg you saved me! thank you SOOOO much Louis! 
Also a note, these Arduino examples are included in the Arduino IDE when you import the .zip Arduino library deployment from the Edge Impulse Studio.
Within the Arduino IDE, select File > Examples > Your custom library > i.e. nano_ble33_sense_accelerometer_continuous
thank u so much jenny!
