Hey, I'm just dotting the is, and crossing the ts on a bunch of iio-sensor- proxy documentation and wanted to revisit the IIO documentation, compared to what Windows, and my implementation did. Does this: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio.git/tree/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio#n1638 in particular the "Z" axis: "Z is perpendicular to the screen plane and positive out of the screen" match this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/devices-sensors/sensor-orientation "with the positive z-axis extending out from the device."
Yes I believe that the 2 are stating the same, this is also how the Z axis works on Android I believe. If you put a phone or tablet flat on a table with the display up, then you will get a -1.0G or -9.8 m/s² reading since the gravity is pulling downwards (away from the front of the screen) with 1G.
This Microsoft page didn't exist when I changed the code to "match Windows 10" in 2016: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy/-/commit/35b6328cbdaa5efa30917c445962d64fd733fb02 (And just to double check, it seems that the other 2 axis do match in their definitions, right?)
Yes I believe they do, and also again Android's definition. Regards, Hans
