inclination sensor or information available? (pitch, roll, yaw)

Former Member over 10 years ago

Hello together,

im thinking about developing an application for the Garmin wearables (my focus is the upcoming fenix 3). So i downloaded SDK and documentation.
For the usecase im thinking about it would be very helpful to read the inclination, e.g. pitch, roll, yaw (in degree or some other value that is convertible to degree) from the clock. Are these values collected by the hardware and is it possible to read them out. I did not found any hind in the documentation.

Thanks for Help and/or Informations :)

Access to the accelerometer data is not available, and I believe that the request has already been scratched.

Thanks for that information, even if it is not the one i would have preferred to receive;)
But to understand: a accelerometer is build in? Just the data cant be accessed by the SDK?

Correct. The 920 (and other devices) have a 3-axis accelerometer built-in. So for the only access that is provided is the 'gesture support' for watch faces. When the device believes that the user is looking at the watch face, it invokes a callback on the application.
