hi pramod gurav, I think we have the same problem,the lis302/lis331 sensor cannot provide yaw/pitch/roll data while we feel hard to emulate G1's compass feature.
But I thought there would be some method to emulate that,,,we get the x/y/z and change them to yaw/pitch/roll through a model... hmm,,that's not easy,i think. thanks --wxc200 ============ 自由之精神，独立之人格 ============ Zsa Zsa Gabor - "I'm a great housekeeper.
