Any news about accelerometer API?

Hi,

where could i find the API/SDK for the accelerometer, because i would develope an an application (.net cf) which should use the g-sensor.

Take a look at this application, maybe you can contact the author. I don't know if any API/SDK is used, but it is the first program I have seen wich uses the accelerometer:

Thanks, but he don't want to tell us, how they did it.

The authors of GSen won't tell anybody how he did it.
It's a commercial software house... someday they will surely try to sell that utility or develope some commercial applications and games using Diamond's accellerometer.
I presume they reverse engineered Teeter or Opera to find out how it works.

At moment, we keep the infos for several reasons.
GSen is " freeware ", no need to change the status.

Great software ya got there.
Just a feedback.. it's a real pain to edit the config file.
The save function on the device doesnt work. It's like the same function as "restore to default". I had a number of apps there and all gone when I clicked saved. Undo doesnt seem to work either.

Looks like I gotta do the hard way.. check for the window names and edit the config file on PC manually.

After a lot of searching and disassembling manila.exe, etc. i figure out, that we have to use "HTCSensorSDK.dll" in Windows-Directory.

There are functions like "HTCSensorOpen", "HTCSensorClose", etc.

The problem is, that I don't know the parameters of these functions, and HTC won't answer on emails.

the HTCSensorSDK is the Light Sensor not the Accelerometer API, you should disasm the "Teeter" game on the Diamond to see what API's its using
