Hello, There's a blueprint about sensor related tasks on the Nexus 7
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-r-arm-input-sensor- drivers I'd like your input regarding the best place in our stack such features should be exposed to other software and to users. There's a small test app written in Go that can be run on the Nexus 7 that will orient the screen and set brightness depending on tablet position and ambient light respectively. https://code.launchpad.net/~jani/+junk/nexus On the Nexus 7 : Install golang, go build nexus.go, sudo ./nexus -v or download the prebuilt static binary from http://people.canonical.com/ ~jani/a However, to prevent adding yet another daemon with non-negligible memory footprint (~1.8M), I think behavior and various thresholds should be configurable in the Control Center GUI and the functionality added to one or several of the existing daemons written in C. AFAIK there are no generic kernel and userland APIs for such sensors, save for device specific sysfs knobs so this may be a good opportunity to think about how to expose such hardware features in a device independent manner in the future. Thoughts? thanks Jani -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
