I'm fairly new to max/msp and I am struggling to use the zerox~ object,

I'm using a wacom object in conjuction with my wacom bamboo graphical tablet, then measuring acceleration up and down the y axis using a metro, which is displayed in positive and negative numbers.

What I want to be able to do is use the zerox~ object to count the number of times the acceleration crosses a 0 value i.e. the stylus changes direction and use this as a frequency for an oscillator. For example if the user changes direction of the stylus on the y-axis two times in a second, then the frequency of the cycle~ oscillator is 2Hz. Not sure if this is the best way to do this, and any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,
