Hi Guys, Any more on the compass?

DJ. Either you or Jeremie in one of the other threads about the compass issues mentioned that the sensor device is being redesigned. Are you testing with the old one (that was sold through Brookstone) or one of the new ones?

If it works with the new one, I will wait for its release and include one in my new order. I have almost enough EZ-Credit to cover it anyway, and the accelerometer/gyroscope at least works on this one, so it will have a use, just not the one I bought it for.

Hey Alan,

We are testing with one of the Brookstone sensors. At the moment we are revisiting the older code while we finish up development on the new sensor. As you can see, ARC is getting some new additions as a result:).

#12  

OK. As usual, if there is anything I can do to help test. Logs, debug builds, whatever. I am curious if Richard R's and Andyroid's sensors work better than mine with this build. If they do, I'll assume mine is bad and wait until they are shipping again, but if not, I am here to help....

Hi Alan I will test mine tomorrow morning and let you know how I make out.

I have added comments from tonight's testing to your thread here: https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/8867

Makes more sense for the issue to have its own thread than to keep talking about it in the release notes thread.

Some progress, but more weirdness too.

Alan
