BHI160, BME280, BMM150 using accelerometer, Gyro raw data/temp/pressure/humidity and Activity detect

[owain-incus]

Hi,

Till now we have been using sensor complex to return 

VS_TYPE_ACCELEROMETER, VS_TYPE_GYROSCOPE, VS_TYPE_LINEAR_ACCELERATION, VS_TYPE_ORIENTATION @100Hz
Accelerometer range has been set to 16g and Gyro/Accel axis have been remapped!!!!

VS_TYPE_PRESSURE, VS_TYPE_RELATIVE_HUMIDITY, VS_TYPE_TEMPERATURE @ 1Hz

Then we have using off board analytics. This all worked well for us.

I have just now enabled the following virtual sensors and am seeing events.

VS_TYPE_STEP_DETECTOR, VS_TYPE_STEP_COUNTER, VS_TYPE_ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION @1Hz

Will these last three virtual sensors work OK with the remapping of axis, sample rates and range changes for the other sensors; or does using Gyros, Accelerometers as we do forbid us from using these last sensors.

Are the algorithms for the activity recognition, step counting described anywhere; I struggle to find any documentation.

We are using Bosch firmware.Bosch_PCB_7183_di03_BMI160_BMM150_BME280-7183_di03.2.1.11696_secondaryAddr.h

Regards,

Owain

Beside the datasheet, sensor documentation is provided directly by Android : https://source.android.com/devices/sensors/sensor-types

Step-counter, step-detector and activity will keep working as expected with range and remapping changes.
