Value is discrete and can be between 0 and 4. Which would conclude to 4-5 gestures. SPIKE Prime specification list 3 gestures: free fall, tap, shake. I rudimentary mapped them the following ... however .. the sensor emits many of them for the free fall and tapping is a pretty rough gesture. So that could be also crash or something.

    public enum Gesture : int
    {
        None = 0, // UNSPECED
        Tap = 1, // UNSPECED
        Gesture_2 = 2,
        Shake = 3, // UNSPECED
        FreeFall = 4, // UNSPECED
    }
