S Scantech Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 24, 2019 #1 Is Phone Sensor Orientation Type X value ranges from 0 to 360? x seems a bit off. Do we have to calibrate it to have it set at x = 0 when phone is portrait mode?

I don't know, but it would not surprise me if (some) tablets regarded landscape orientation as normal, and the accelerometer axes were oriented accordingly. And if you're running an emulator, all bets are off ;-) On a related note: in my bang-it-up-fast code, I used orientation values 8,9,6,3,2,1,4,7 arranged as per numeric keypad, but in retrospect, would be better just using degrees (or multiples of 45 or 90 degrees).

E emexes Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jun 28, 2019 #23 Speaking of ironic, yesterday happened upon this map. "At this time, only three countries—Burma, Liberia, and the US—have not adopted the International System of Units (SI, or metric system) as their official system of weights and measures." The "Axis of Medieval" reference was kinda funny (although that might just be my weird humour, juxtaposing it with George W Bush and his Axis of Evil). Upvote 0
