API documentation question

Former Member over 9 years ago

I am using the info.currentHeading value in my data field. The API doesn't document the range of values returned. By experimentation I determined it is -pi to +pi on my fr735xt, however can I assume the same range on all devices? For instance, could it be 0 to 2*pi on some devices?

Shouldn't this be documented?

It should be documented, and it should not change between devices.

The documentation says "True north referenced heading in radians".

To me, that says radians +/- of north (0 radians), which seems to be the case on all the devices.

I can see how it could be seen to 0 to 360' (I don't post in radians! :) ), instead of 0 to 180' and 0 to -180', so maybe a bit more in the doc....
