Access to raw data from accerometer

Can I get data from accelerometer in API? I'm expect instantaneous values countable to m/s^2, G etc.
  • Negative. This is currently not available via the ConnectIQ API.

    :(
    It will be? It is on TODO list? ;)
    I'm think about data fields based on accel (max verticaly, horizontaly, max change)

    According to AlphaMonkey - cannot find the post - then no, it will not be available as they currently don't handle this amount of data.

    It's been abandoned for now. It's a highly requested item, but often times the requests are followed by "and can I get 2000 samples/sec so I can <insert use case here>?" and I have to go into a long rambling answer about how my bytecode interpreter won't be able to keep up with the data on the wearable. I'm hoping future versions of CIQ will have improved performance (*cough* native methods *cough*) so we can give full accelerometer access, but I don't want to provide an API that will only be a disappointment.


    This doesn't mean we won't ever do it. It's just not something we can do in the way we want right now.

    Internal app use G-meter to start, stop, pause activity or counters, short way to high-g, shock detector, zero-g detector and others.
    Maybe add method like this?
    Simple add to Ui.BehaviorDelegate onStartMove, onStopMove, onShockDetect, onFalldownDetect.
