node-metawear receives SENSORFUSION + GYRO, even if not explicitly
Hello again -
I have been attempting to do some framerate tests with a MetaMotion R. I was finding that if I streamed the magnetometer, gyro, accelerometer, and quaternions via sensorfusion, the framerate is actually quite slow (~2Hz). Stripping out everything except the accelerometer still yields a very slow rate.
So I decided to try one of the example scripts to debug my logic, running the snippet below. I'm a bit confused, however - is it the case that node-metawear is always receiving the sensorfusion & gyro as well, even if not explicitly subscribed?

update: I tried a soft reset of the device through the mobile app. Removes the GYRO + SENSORFUSION receives. Does the device remember the services last received, and if so, is there a way to automatically soft reset it or something so we don't receive it?
@hamilton I also experience slow frame rate on my MacOs (yes I assume your launched the test on a Mac, am I right ?), but I did yet had the time to dig into it since I mostly use, Raspberry Pi 3, Beaglebone Green Wireless for testing.
Regarding the configuration of the sensors, yes the device keep the configuration till a soft rest is performed or the coin cell is removed. I need to make sure the configuration will then properly override any previous settings or the other way around, the previous sensor fusion is properly reseted.
Btw, you can perform a soft reset via the Debug register, here is an example
