I am Currently working on pedometer Application for intel device with LSM9DS0 sensor. My requirement is to develop a pedometer with the application code intel published in the Native Application Guide
This code is available in the section 6.1.4 of below shared pdf
http://download.intel.com/support/edison/sb/edison_nag_331192003.pdf
As a matter of fact I found some similar code but android version
public StepDetector() {
int h = 480; // TODO: remove this constant
mYOffset = h * 0.5f;
mScale[0] = - (h * 0.5f * (1.0f / (SensorManager.STANDARD_GRAVITY * 2)));
mScale[1] = - (h * 0.5f * (1.0f / (SensorManager.MAGNETIC_FIELD_EARTH_MAX)));
}
public void setSensitivity(float sensitivity) {
mLimit = sensitivity; // 1.97 2.96 4.44 6.66 10.00 15.00 22.50 33.75 50.62
}
public void addStepListener(StepListener sl) {
mStepListeners.add(sl);
}
//public void onSensorChanged(int sensor, float[] values) {
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
Sensor sensor = event.sensor;
synchronized (this) {
if (sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION) {
}
else {
int j = (sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER) ? 1 : 0;
if (j == 1) {
float vSum = 0;
for (int i=0 ; i<3 ; i++) {
final float v = mYOffset + event.values[i] * mScale[j];
vSum += v;
}
int k = 0;
float v = vSum / 3;
float direction = (v > mLastValues[k] ? 1 : (v < mLastValues[k] ? -1 : 0));
if (direction == - mLastDirections[k]) {
// Direction changed
int extType = (direction > 0 ? 0 : 1); // minumum or maximum?
mLastExtremes[extType][k] = mLastValues[k];
float diff = Math.abs(mLastExtremes[extType][k] - mLastExtremes[1 - extType][k]);
if (diff > mLimit) {
boolean isAlmostAsLargeAsPrevious = diff > (mLastDiff[k]*2/3);
boolean isPreviousLargeEnough = mLastDiff[k] > (diff/3);
boolean isNotContra = (mLastMatch != 1 - extType);
if (isAlmostAsLargeAsPrevious && isPreviousLargeEnough && isNotContra) {
Log.i(TAG, "step");
for (StepListener stepListener : mStepListeners) {
stepListener.onStep();
}
mLastMatch = extType;
}
else {
mLastMatch = -1;
}
}
mLastDiff[k] = diff;
}
mLastDirections[k] = direction;
mLastValues[k] = v;
}
}
}
}

My problem is that I am not able to make perfect design document using these codes. I need clarifications on
How does Scale values are calculated? its look like a random constant from nowhere is used here
int h = 480; // TODO: remove this constant mScale[0] = - (h * 0.5f * (1.0f / (SensorManager.STANDARD_GRAVITY * 2))); mScale[1] = - (h * 0.5f * (1.0f / (SensorManager.MAGNETIC_FIELD_EARTH_MAX)));
How does these mLimit value calculated?
if (diff > mLimit)
Intel code saying
v = vSum / 2300;
ButAndroid code saying
v = vSum / 3;
The Calculation of vector Sum is similar in both the codes. Which equation actually followed here?
Please some one help me to get these things straight
