Thanks for the swift reply Mark. Hmmm that's a shame, i suppose I could listen for a sensorChanged event on the accelerometer, then for each other sensor in turn - and log the time delay between each event. Unsatisfactory as I'd really like to get the data every nth of a second to do some signal processing/filtering but that would rely on having a known frequency... ho hum :(
BTW I was playing with Android Scripting Environment and there is a python example called sensors.py: import android droid = android.Android() droid.startSensing() . . sensors = droid.readSensors() print sensors I wonder what's going on "under the hood" there...?
