By looking to the Demo Ap and testing it, seems that ACCEL and GYRO sensors are swapped. The ACCEL sensors acts as leveler sensor as the floating air bubble travels through two dimensions. On the other hand, the GYRO sensor shows the acceleration components in the three dimensions. It is maybe better to refer to the ACCEL sensor, Compass and leveler sensors by GYRO Sensor as a whole. Thoughts?

Hello ahassan,

  1. It is a bit misleading, but The ACCEL and GYRO are NOT swapped.
  2. The 3 Sensors each have 3 Axes and it was decided to reflect the Gyro in a bubble with X/Y Dimensions.
  3. We wanted to make it a "gaming" experience and the Bubble was implemented.

Have fun!

Hi JT,

We noticed that the Bubble doesn't go to the origin if the sensor gets to a steady position. As an ACCEL sensor, it responses to the variation of the speed which is what the three dial meters (XYZ) shows in the GYRO sensor. That is why we came to the conclusion that the marking maybe swapped.

Thanks,

Amr
