Apropos accm, I undestand this is a hardcore question but... will we have access to the inertial wakeup feature of the chip ? (this could be used to detect being picked up/flipping pages/etc without polling like crazy).

many laptop hard drives have accelerometers built in to sense falling/dropping.. maybe you could use that?

There is a new version of NumptyPhysics in Fremantle extras-devel. The game now starts with a new but provisional screen: "Accelerometers test".

Sadly the test fails. The objects in that screen and anthing else you draw follows the same gravity falling down the display... no matter in what position you have the device. Maybe someone can give a hand to Tim Edmonds?

I uploaded madbomber 0.2.5-3maemo5 to extras-devel, it has accelerometer based control now. Any feedback (does it work, direction ok, general feel) would be welcome so I could decide what do with it.

MadBomer doesn't seem to respond to accelerometers. The keys do work.

Doh! I left my acceleremoter test setup in the code (which is typing some numbers manually to a file and see what happens). You could try this

Bringing this back from the dead...

I looked at sandcastle and there is the DBusGProxy callback. Ok, what amound of motion does it take to trigger such a callback?

Is there some documentation on the nature of the dbus accelerometer functionality?

hi,

i am also interested to know how one can access the accelerometer on the N900, especially if it is possible to do so via Python.

how about other sensors? or radio signal/base station/battery etc.?

thank you..

wahlau.

See http://wiki.maemo.org/Accelerometers, it even has a python example.

thanks. that answers my answer pretty well!

i wonder if there will be Sensor API-like on the S60 Platform interfaces on N900. that would make many things simpler...
