I can't speak to the actual hardware, being a curious developer like yourself, but I have been playing with the OpenIntents simulator. The simulator seems to adhere to the sensor output spec that Justin referred to. Regarding your question about whether the orientation sensor axis are the same as those for the accelerometer, they do not seem to be. The orientation sensor axis are the standard aviation axis (see Wikipedia on "Flight Dynamics") while the accelerometer measurements are based on a different coordinate system.
Here is the conversion based after playing around with the simulator a little (where a denotes accelerometer axis and o denotes orienation axis): Xa = Yo Ya = Xo Za = -Zo i On Aug 25, 1:10 pm, Reto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Could one of the Googlers with access to a physical phone confirm the > order of the axis values returned by the on > onSensorChanged event within the SensorListener class? > > I assume it's [x, y, z] > > Where, for a device lying flat on its back on the table in front of me > in portrait orientation: > The X axis is out of the top of the device. > The Y axis is out the left hand side. > The Z axis is up out of the screen. > > Also, is that order the same for the Orientation Sensor (where each > value is rotation on that axis) and theAccelerometerSensor (where > each value is acceleration in that direction)? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
