FR945 accelerometer sample rate

See Sensor:AccelerometerData and Sensor: SensorData in the API guide.

Thanks! I looked in there, unfortunetly it doesnt mention anything about sample rate. I think my issue might be that onUpdate() can only run once per second, but I can't find any other place to print the data that would run faster. I find it hard to believe that the accelerometer data can only be used once per second since it is common for accelerometers to work 10 times a second or more, but maybe that just is the case for the Forerunner.

Take a look at the pitch counter sample.....

With this api you register a callback so you likely won't be running it from onUpdate(), which may only run every second - it's really up to how the app works,  For widgets and device apps, by default it's not called on a regular basis at all.. 

Thanks. It actually is the pitch counter sample that I am modifying. I tried putting a console println in the callback function, but that also only prints once per second. in the sensor options I have the period set to 1 and the sample rate set to max. It is looking more and more like the accelerometer itself is just a 1HZ sensor, it is surprising since it is such an expensive device, but maybe most use cases just don't need more than 1/second. It would be nice if there was some way to know for sure before I go through the hassle of returning the watch and finding a different brand to work with.

Try it on a real device.

I'm using a real device, and then getting my console logs from the logs folder on the device. I have sent garmin a few emails about this, but have not heard back, not sure if they respond or not. It is looking like it cant get faster than 1/sec though, even their time formating don't seem to deal with milliseconds, just seconds.

The best way to ask Garmin about this is to post in the CIQ bug report forum.

I have managed to get data at a rate of 10/sec by using the Accelmag sample. I'm still not completely convinced this is the max speed since when you get the max sample rate programmatically, it tells you it is 25. Unfortunetly garmin support doesnt know what the 25 means, the developer form is broken, and garmin doesnt seem to respond to emails. If I am able to get any faster I will update this post.
