Hi Josh, Due to some restrictions, emulator needs to connect to the device running SdkControllerSensor application *before* the emulated system boots. Mostly this is due to the fact that emulator needs to know the list of supported sensors before booting the guest system. You can (indirectly) tell that emulator has connected to the sensors port by checking emulator's output for a warning "Unable to create sensors port". If there is such warning, the emulator was not able to establish connection with the SdkControllerSensor application, and you need to restart the emulator, making sure that all the pieces needed for sensors emulation have been properly setup. If there is no warning, it means that connection has been made, and sensor emulation is available.
