AccelerometerData and GyroscopeData min/max vlaue

sososo over 1 year ago

Hello,

What is the minimum/maximum value for accelerometer data and gyroscope data?

I read another discussion about accelerometer data's value range. It said around -8g.

Is it correct and Is there any document or website where I can check the information about this?

Or any other idea?

Thank you for reading.

Even if there is such info, it might not be true for all devices. What are you trying to record?

I'm trying to record the raw data of accelerometer and gyroscope. But due to the limit of FIT message size, I cannot record all the data in original format (FLOAT). So, I want to know the range of the possible values so that i can determine if it will be okay only with the Integer value.

so create 2 class variables: mMinFoo, mMaxFoo, every time you get a new data in the sensor callback take care to update them if necessary, and display them on your watch. Then start to jump / drop / turn / spinn whatever your use case will be. Then look at the displayed min, max values
