Re: Announce: omnewrotate 0.5.0
Hi, Have been playing around with your code and figured out what the possible problem is with the zero values. You essentially try to read 4 packets from the device in 1 read and then decode them into x,y and z assuming they are always send in the same order. However it looks like the sensor/driver does not send a string when the measured value is 0, (can even been seen with hexdump, I'm using SHR with updated kernel from bug 2145 to get around the threshold problem.) If that happens your xyz may get the wrong values resulting in , you'll have to check each message for type and code before you use the value. Efficiency is good, but be careful with shortcuts -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Announce%3A-omnewrotate-0.5.0-tp1521019p1598202.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

There is either no such directory called lis302dl.1, and no files called threshold either in /sys or /proc Thanks. Hope this is fixed in newer kernels. I'm not sure if I can upgrade my kernel with FDOM. It seem like it can break things, so I'll think twice before upgrading the kernel image. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

With some kernel versions, the drivers stopped working after a certain time and no more data is fed through the file handle to the accelerometer. Merely closing and reopening the file handle would work around that, but I haven't noticed that under FSO M4 and upwards, so that bug may be fixed in newer kernels at the proper point (in kernel).

It might be a problem with accelerometers. Try this: http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td1493922|a1493922 If it affecting Doom it might also affect rotate program.

Announce: omnewrotate 0.5.0
http://blog.1407.org/2008/11/19/openmoko-newrotate-050-lazy-edition-is-out/ Hi, I’ve just release a new version of omnewrotate (OpenPGP signature), the ‘Lazy Edition’ because it uses so much less CPU than any version I did before. Oh, I forgot to mention it in the release commit, but at least with FSO M4 I’m getting a very stable rotation BUT if the screen looks garbled, please wait a few seconds until the graphic user interface adjusts to the screen changes. I don’t think I can do much about that… From the ChangeLog: 2008-11-19 - 0.5.0 - Lazy edition * uses a second thread for reading the accellerometer packets * drops Fabian's changes (not that they weren't good, just not needed any more) * adds flags (look at display_help() or ./rotate -h) * drops packets with 0 value coordinates (I got bogus packets like that so I decided to drop them, if you feel you get good packets with 0 value, you can use '-0' as an argument to take them in account). * top -d 1 -p PID shows 0.0% CPU usage (of omnewrotate) even during rotation * seems to waste a little too much memory (some stuff could be done with one number and bitwise operations instead of several numbers, I wonder how much that will improve and if it's worth the effort...) * only output outside of debug mode are real errors -- This statement is false.
