Sony Smartwatch Accelerometer sensor when is a axis positive (witch side is up)?

Posted on by

For the axis the values are:

  Positive value Negative value
x: The button is up The button is down
y: The Sony label is up The Sony label is down
z: The Screen is down The screen is up

Also a interesting thing to note, no matter how we all try to (when having the accelerometer using the SENSOR_STATUS_ACCURACY_HIGH) we can not get it to go past 78,15m/s^2.

  1. Hi,
    We are trying to build a running app for the Sony Smartwatch.
    It seems we cannot get more than 10 samples/second from the accelerometer.
    Would you have any idea or info how we can increase the sampling rate?
    Thanks

  2. Hi EB,

    I assume you have the latest version of the Smartwatch firmware 😉
    If you are listening for events when the value has changed, try to make a loop and ask it instead and see if that means you can get values quicker.

    Other than that I have no good suggestions for you as I did not do that much with the accelerometer sensor (I only used it to see if the Smartwatch was moving and then I was fine with delays even in seconds) – However on StackOverflow there is a good chance of getting good answers. (Sony have been (and probably still are, but I don’t know how it works now) watching it and trying to help developers with it.
