It's dumping samples about once per second ATM - I'd initially included a 'sleep 1' command then commented it out since the loop execution ended up taking about 1 sec anyway. (chains of cat/grep/sed/cut piped) The one caveat is that I don't have a good mount for it in the car - for the requested test I'll just lay it on the floor on the passenger side and note the physical orientation. (more OT than this request, I found out that the rubberized surface on the back of the Freerunner is essentially non-stick if you try to lay the Freerunner on a Handstands StickyPad - I've had one of those on my dashboard for years, always kept my cellphone and Zaurus there even on a sloped dashboard, but the Freerunner won't stick to it even on the flat dash in my new car) j _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
