Infinitime firmware on p8b seems not to count steps

Open lains opened this issue 4 months ago • 3 comments

Hello,

I have tried the firmware on two P8B (MOY-TON5) devices, and the step count seems to always remain zero. Is this expected? I guess that counting step is using the accelerometer, so maybe a calibration is required beforehand...

I have the same thing using moy-unk2. I tried updating infinitime to 1.12 or 1.15, but that just crashes and reverts back to 1.11. Using the calibration setting did nothing.

Yes, the step counter is not implemented. On the cheaper acceleration sensors of the P8 watches, a lot of manual data processing is needed to analyze the raw signal. See https://github.com/StarGate01/PineTimeAcc for a demo Android app how it could be done.

Amazing how you stay on top of this and make these contributions. Thank you!
