Digital compass or Gyroscope

I test location services on my PlayBook, and while semi GPS seems to function I don't see any reference API to use the digital compass or gyroscope which is apparently in the material?

Any help is appreciated - I understand that the PlayBook is still a work in progress (as can be seen easily)!

You do not find the interfaces because AS3 is not supported compass or gyroscope. You're going to want to wait that RIM provides the necessary connections through the native SDK. Or air sdk 2.6 will perhaps creates support.

In any event, the ball is in the camp of RIM and we simple developers will have to show patience. But I agreee with you this GPS is a very poor substitute for a real compass. If RIM wants us to build applications with real WOW facter, then they need support the other sensors on the double.

  • Xoom compass

    Anyone else have problems with the compass of the Xoom? Most of the I downloaded the applications that use it have the compass off the coast of 90 degrees (this may be because the standard Xoom orientation is landscape and phones are portrait). I hope updates but saw almost nothing about it on any of the Xoom advice and starting to wonder if my device is defective!

    mfloser,

    I'll keep an eye as well and let you know if I met a trusted application, you can test it with (I can validate myself as well). In the meantime, use Google maps and the GPS function works to see how your Xoom reacts to movement (walk around and check the orientation). It is the same technology used to drive a digital compass interface.

  • Feature wish: LR Geotagging Module showing heading (Compass Direction) of the pictures on the card

    Hello together,

    Adobe has done a great job with the geolocation module in Lightroom 4! Thank you!

    Feature wish: geolocation LR Module should show see (Compass Direction) on the map

    What Miss me is the option to show the meaning of the image (position) on the map. There are more cameras and from geotaggers who write the meaning of the image in the EXIF JPEG and RAW.


    The best implementation, I know to date for the presentation of the compass is in the geosetterfreeware.  It uses the focal length to calculate a "triangle of view." Zoom will cause a thin triangel, wide angle wide angle .

    Here's one - low quality -video for better understanding. It illustrates pretty well what I mean:

    It would be great to have the distance of development also involved. But this seems to be difficult because most cams do not write what he standardized based on the EXIF

    Any other position would be good for?

  • Which (SE IPhone iOS 9.3.4) no work

    Compass not working at all or shows total nonsense. While sleeping. Has been reset it via iTunes but not helped... Help, please

    Hey Misto Babaoglu,.

    Looks like you're having problems with your compass app that doesn't show is not common sense. Great way to try to use iTunes to reset the device and run it again. Take a look at the info on the compass of iPhone below user's guide.

    Compass at a glance

    Find a direction, see your latitude and longitude, find the level, or corresponds to a slope.

    Quickly access compass. On the iPhone and 6 s 6 s, type options on the home screen, tap the compass, then choose the quick action to start compass. See Touch 3D.

    See your location. To view your current location, go to settings > privacy > location Services, then turn on the location Services and a compass. For more info on location Services, see Privacy.

    See your location in maps. Type the contact information at the bottom of the screen to open maps and display your location.

    Keep the Cap. Tap the screen to block in the current position, and then look for a red stripe see if you are of course.

    Important: the accuracy of the compass can be affected by static magnetic or environmental. even the magnets in headphones for the iPhone can cause a deflection. Use the digital compass for basic navigation assistance. Do not rely on in order to determine the precise location, proximity, distance or direction.

    You can find more info here: compass at a glance - iPhone

    Please check your settings of privacy and location Services . And make sure your compass is authorised to use these features.

    Understand how your compass works and uses your settings should help to get this working. Thank you to use Apple support communities.

    Good day.

  • Compatibility of the iPhone in the United Kingdom and Europe

  • Stop and start the task in while loop

    I try to start and stop an output meter (creates pulsed output) in a while loop and I don't know how this is possible. I have a while loop running who is taking measures from a digital compass. If my title is within acceptable limits, the outputs of the meter (2 of them to turn to the left and right) must be turned off. If the title is out of the acceptable range, let say too far to the right, I want to start one of my outings of the counter to activate the object to the left. The issue I am having is that if I put the block 'Start the task' in the while loop the system will try to start each iteration of the loop, even if it is already on. I don't know if there is a problem, but it does not appear effective from a programming perspective. I remember reading somewhere that stop and start tasks can really slow a loop. Any suggestions?

    I actually just to understand it. If you use some if statements and the "fact of task is" block you can make it work.

  • Digital display of the LabVIEW Control gauge

    I created a gauge control to emulate a rose compass as suggested by other posts. I filled the control with 0, 30, 60, etc. to 330 and left blank for the last entry as 360 parameter overwrites the entry 0. I chose 'Allow Undefined values' and everything works as required on the development system, click on the 30 '30' poster text entry area, use the text input Select box and a separate digital text box opens to allow something like 15 to affix, which then appears on the display bracketing <15>as described in the help of LabVIEW the digital extra text box then disappears.

    When I built the system and install it on the target computer, this last action does not occur. The digital extra text box remains in view of the Panel, while I have two displayed values. This extra box remains on the screen even if a value is selected via the mouse. What's not?

  • Compass problems

    My IPhone 5SE now uses OS 10 and the compass is more calibrated when turned on - and it seems to point anywhere, but to the North.  Is this a problem with OS 10?

    Hi derekfrombeverley,

    Thank you for contributing to the communities of Apple Support.

    It seems that the Compass app on your iPhone 5 is not calibrate after update to iOS 10. This looks like a problem that we can solve the problems.

    First of all, try to remove and reinstall the Compass application by following the steps in remove the built-in apps Apple from the home screen on your device iOS with iOS 10.

    You can restart your iPhone between the removal of the Compass application and put it back in the App Store -restart your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.

    If the same thing happens after reinstalling, try enabling / disabling location Services and turn it on in settings > privacy > location Services.

    You can also try to switch the calibration of the compass defining more precisely, by going to settings > privacy > location Services > System Services.

    Let us know if this helps and we can offer you a few extra steps.

    Sincerely.

  • I get no picture on the TV when using mini ipad with the Digital AV adapter.

    I get a white on my TV screen when I connect my mini ipad digital AV adapter except HDMI 1 showing in the upper left corner of the TV screen. My mini2 ipad works great with the same son and TV.  I tried two ipads with different TV but get the same result. The ipad mini works OK if not connected to the TV. Two minis are working on the same operating system setting.

    The Digital AV adapter can be finnicky.

    Have you tried simply unplug and plug the adapter with the HDMI cable connected with it?

    With the adapter always plugged into your iPad, have you tried a hard reset of your iPad by pressing the sleep/wake and Home buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to the dark and restarts with the Apple logo, then release them buttons?

    Good luck!

  • iTunes digital copy of the film

    I bought Star Wars: The Force Awakens on Blu Ray in April and it came with an iTunes and/or the Google game code to redeem the film. I bought it on iTunes, but I wonder. It is essentially a way to get the legit iTunes version for free, or is it a different version?

    Also I had people telling me that it is not safe to buy digital copies of movies, but I don't know why it wouldn't?

    Hello Ben_2575,

    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to know if the redeemed code is an iTunes movie Store and if it is safe.
    I recommend you read this article, it has additional information on the purchase of a code. If you redeem the code in iTunes than it is from the iTunes Store. It is available to be downloaded later as a purchase, so you don't lose your content.

    If you choose the later versions, you can download your movie from the iTunes Store: in iTunes, go to the iTunes Store. Select movies from the menu in the upper left corner, then click on purchased under film quick links on the right hand side of the iTunes Store window. Then click on the download icon in the upper right corner of the film. Learn more on download past purchases to iCloud.

  • Digital certificates and runaway trustd

    Just improved El Capitan (10.11), Sierra (10.12). Updated the o/s, kept my applications and data on both a beginning 2011 MacBook Pro and an iMac end of 2013.

    First question mentioned was that Outlook for Mac 2016 hung on the iMac, if I tried to open a digitally signed message (DoD PKI-signed). Had to force quit.

    Next issue noted was that Keychain Access hung when I tried to start it. No window of Keychain Access, never not published, if the icon showed in the dock. Open Activity Monitor to investigate and found that the process trustd seems to have run away. The memory of the process was beyond 1 GB. Forced quit Keychain Access, then sent a HUP signal to my trustd process via the terminal. Once he showed up, process trustd memory reached 11.9 MB.

    Trying to reopen the Keychain Access, but it hung again. I let it go for a while, and Sierra informed me that he had become insensitive (thanks!). Killed, then looked at the allocation of memory of trustd. It was close to 2 GB.

    I upgraded the Macbook Pro at the same time (won't do again). Soon after the connection, I noticed that the fan spun. When he didn't slow down after a bit, I open Activity Monitor and saw that trustd process memory beyond 8 GB. (The total physical memory on the Macbook is 8 GB).

    On the iMac and Macbook, I created the new keyrings connection to get rid of all personal digital certificates.

    It helped on the iMac. I work in the old Keychain, so I do not have access to the certificates. If I do, Keychain Access crashes and trustd fled. I can return to normal by sending a HUP and stop smoking-force Keychain Access. In addition, Outlook crashes and trustd fled if I touch a digitally signed message. Again, I can go back to normal in force - quit Outlook and sending a HUP to trustd.

    The set of connection fees did not help on the laptop. trustd to save, eat memory in the process. I could reset by sending a HUP, after which she would free up the memory, but then he save again. From scratch (erase the hard drive, install Sierra) solves the problem of runaway trustd. I did not restore the Keyring containing digital certificates.

    Is this a problem with trustd? I need personal digital certificates to work on at least one of the computers.

    I also have problems with a runaway trustd, although slightly different triggers.  I'm trying to synchronize my mailboxes from several of my servers.  It downloads a few hundred saved messages, then trustd goes into overdrive, the fan is used, and the computer works nothing except trustd.
