HTCSensors library for HTC Diamond

[agraham]

A further development of the library that Mr_Gee found in this thread http://www.b4x.com/forum/questions-help-needed/2652-using-diamonds-accelerometer.html

The light sensor, stylus sensor and navigation control are now supported in addition to the accelerometer.

EDIT:- For Basic4ppc version 6.90 or later the demo needs a slight modification. See post #26 for details.

 

[Mr_Gee]

you are the man, sorry i didn't get around to posting the spb file with the functions of your previous version, ill do that when i get my pc back

compile error compiling 'HTCSensors library for HTC Diamond' demo source project

Hi,
I downloaded the library at http://www.b4x.com/forum/attachment...sensors-library-htc-diamond-htcsensors1.0.zip but if I try to compile HTCSensorsDemo.sbp the compiler doesn't compile ("Variable main.unknown1 in sub main.getgsensordata is never used. Occurred on line: 49 End Sub"; see attached screenshots).

May you help me?

Thanks!

It's a Basic4ppc warning aboout an unused variable. Either remove line 39 or untick Tools->Check for unassigned/unused variables.

 

[UTISS.DEV01]

It's Run!

Yes, if I uncheck the checkbox demo is compiled!
THANKS!

Hello!

This is an awesome dll!
Thanks a lot for writing it!

But I have a question:
Are you planning (which I could use very well *g*) on implementing
a possibility to change the backlight intensity?
(Like this program here does: Lumos@XDA-Devs

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best regards,

Chris

 

[agraham]

I'm afraid not.

 

[CryoGenID]

Agraham,

thanks for your reply!
What a pity, that would have been perfect...

But anyway: Thanks a lot for the HTCSensors-Library :sign0060:

Best regards,

Chris

just getting started

Hi ... Can you tell me what version of Basic4PPC is needed to use the HTCSensors library?

I have 6.01 and when I tried to load the demo program, I got an error that this file was created under a newer version.

I'm simply trying to detect if the keyboard is slid-out on an HTC Touch Pro 2. Not trying anything fancy. An old B4PPC program I wrote looks bad when the screen rotates due to keyboard being slid-out, so I figure if I can detect it being open or closed, then I can redraw the screen correctly.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

The HTDSensor demo program was written with B4PPC version 6.5.
You can easily find out with what version a program was written by loading the sbp file into a text editor and on top the version is given.

Best regards.

HTCSensores library

Will this library work with an HTC HD2?

 

[agraham]

I've no idea . Try it and let us know if smoke comes out of the back!

Seriously it won't do any harm if it doesn't work (well not a lot! )

 

[klaus]

You should test it.

On my htc-HD it works.

Best regards.​

Hi agraham,

can you please add this code in your library(Class HTCGSensor)?

public void ChangeOrientation(int DisplayOrientation)
{
    switch (DisplayOrientation) {
        case ScreenOrientation.Portrait:
            SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation = Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.ScreenOrientation.Angle0;
            break;
        case ScreenOrientation.Landscape:
            SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation = Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.ScreenOrientation.Angle90;
            break;
        case ScreenOrientation.ReversePortrait:
            SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation = Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.ScreenOrientation.Angle180;
            break;
        case ScreenOrientation.ReverseLandscape:
            SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation = Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.ScreenOrientation.Angle270;
            break;
    }
}

so it is possible to change the orientation of the screen.


Ciao,
Filippo

Hi Filippo

The Display object in ControlsExDevice already has code using SystemSettings to set the screen orientation. I don't want to duplicate functionality in my libraries unless it is really necessary.

 

[Deleted member 103]

It was only a suggestion from me.

So I personally think that's the functional fits right into this library. In this library is tested whether the orientation of the device has changed, and then you can change the orientation of the screen.
Thus, one can achieve with just a library everything you want.

htcsensor - GetGVector

hi,
is GetGVector included in the HTCSensor library?
If not how can i create a library from the .cs file?

thanks!

 

[agraham]

If by GetGVector you mean a function that returns the actual measurement of G in m/s2 or feet/s2 for x, y and z then then you just need to scale the values of TiltX etc appropriately. As you can see from the help entry for GetRawSensorData 1G is nominally 1000 Tilt units but the measurement is actually very imprecise and the actual value may vary for each axis.

 

[UTISS.DEV05]

now it's clear...
THANKS!
