Connect IQ 1.2.1 SDK Available!

It's official! The Connect IQ version 1.2.0 SDK beta has attained it's final form, and is now available for download as the 1.2.1 SDK!

There are two ways to get your hands on it:

Lastly, get the latest device firmware updates for your devices to ensure they have full support for all of the great Connect IQ 1.2.1 features!

Rupert,

It is pretty clear (to me at least) that the comment you're replying to was not directed to you, but to Opperhoofd_101.

The problem that you're hammering on is known, supposedly has a resolution in place, and has a workaround for you to use that causes no harm. Why are we still harping on it?

What on earth are you on about?

This is the only time and only place I've mentioned that Garmins sample code is incorrect. Hardly 'hammering on' or 'harping', I'm just being a friendly citizen and letting them know.

I've clearly hit a nerve, perhaps you need more sleep or less coffee.

Did you also update the Eclipse plug-in as well as the SDK?

I don't use eclipse at the moment. So how does one get access to the App Settings Editor under the windows command line?

You don't. It's part of the CIQ plugin for Eclipse, and only works with Eclipse.

For people to use settings with GCM or GE, it also must be something loaded from the app store - no way to use "user settings" in a side loaded .prg

access to barometer and compass data in realtime

Dear Garmin ConnectIQ Team,

In the latest ConnectIQ 1.2 update you've added
new APIs for access to the accelerometer,

Would it be possible to also give direct access to barometer and compass data in realtime. This would be required for applications like a Variometer for paragliding, where currently the update rate of barometer data is too slow.
Many Thanks !
Best Regards,
Edwin

ConnectIQ does not access any sensors directly. We can only get data at the rate the device is already sampling at. You can sample the device data at any rate desired by directly calling Toybox.Sensor.getInfo(), but if that data doesn't update fast enough, there isn't much ConnectIQ will be able to do to improve the data rate.

Linux

Is it possible to get the SDK working on Linux?

This isn't something we support yet, but it's not off the table for the future. :)

It's not perfect but it's possible using the WINE. Why not perfect? 16 bit color devices display very bad with prg files. However, there is no problem after uploading the app to Garmin ConnectIQ Store, they display correctly when downloaded from there.
