Inclinometer not getting results or 'readingchanged' event

Question

Hi,

Trying to use the inclinometer (in an HTML/JS app), which is recognized (i.e. Windows.Devices.Sensors.Inclinometer.getDefault() doesn't return null). However, that is where the functionality ends. Any help? I'm using a Samsung XE700T running Release Preview...

The few times I've gotten it to output anything, its only given me these static values: pitch: 0, roll: 0, yaw: 360

Answer 1

Rome Boards,

What happens when you use the SDK sample?

Answer 2

same thing. inclinometer never returns null, but the onDataChanged function never gets called. reportInterval stays set at 16 as well...

Answer 3

Rome Boards,

I have been using the following evaluation boards from ST:

eMotion boards:

(ASIA )Arrow Asia: http://components-asiapac.arrow.com/cart/?version=en&partno=STEVAL-MKI119V1

(USA)Digikey: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?lang=en&site=us&KeyWords=STEVAL-MKI119V1&x=18&y=18

They have worked great for me.

Answer 4

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the response, however I'm not in a position to get a new board for the tablet I'm working on. Would reinstalling the device driver help or is there something I'm missing programmatically? And if not, is there a built in Win8 tool for testing this?

Answer 5

As a test I would start with the compass sample and see if that works.

Answer 6

As a test try the various sensor app samples and let me know which ones do and do not work.  perhaps at that point we can troubleshoot your issue better.
