Gyroscope values in Sensor::Info

Former Member over 8 years ago

It would be very useful to have a gyro field in the Sensor::Info structure available to those watches that have a gyroscope. It opens very interesting possibilities for development.

Thanks!

Is it likely in 2020?

I will not persue any gyro dependnat programming if it's not likely coming out soon?

The Sensor.Info structure already has accel and mag. Is there something else you are looking for?

Yes, some of the new watches have an additional sensor, a gyroscope. It provides instantaneous rotational speed values around the three axes. That information is very useful to compute attitude (orientation), and to filter acceleration values through data fusion. Together with the "accel" and "mag" fields you mention, there are a lot of interesting possibilities coming from it, but the Sensor::Info structure doesn't include "gyro" values yet. It would be great and probably very simple to update the Info structure to include them in a new release of the API.

Hey,

I've created a request. The team look at it and decide if it's something that we are going to pursue. Thanks for the suggestion!

Coleman,

Can you provide an update on the request? I second dawser's request to have access to this in Sensor::Info as I have an application that can use it immediately.

Thanks,
Daniel

We're looking at adding this in a future release. I don't have any specifics on the timeline I can share, but this is definitely something we would like to add at some point.

Do you have any updates on when is it going to happen?
We are dying to see gyroscope values and promise to use it at once

No updates at this time, unfortunately. We have a design for this feature, so the groundwork has been laid, but I don't know any specifics about a timeline. I am certain it's a feature we want to make available--thanks for your patience!

any update on this? i also would like to use BOTH the accelerometer AND gyroscope readings.

I second that...., with access to that data - you could effectively make your watch into an aircrafts HUD displaying pitch/roll /heading.... or calculate jump heights like these products do - which I am trying to do without success so far

I agree. Access to gyroscope readings, please.
