[REF]Managed HTC Light Sensor SDK released (with source)

[Koush]

I published the HTC Accelerometer SDK a while ago, and have been spending some time off and on trying to find out how to get access to the Nav API. No luck there yet, but I did figure out how to access the light sensor.

The updated API and source is available at:

can you give us compiled exe?

[DOMin8or]

where are the lightsensor? is it the front/back cam?
how often will auto light adjust update?
alltime? once per power on switch? once per minute?
when the autolight is not set, and it will be done by frontcam, we can safe cams energy, by switching off automatic backlighht adjust. cameras are needing a lot of power.
can anybody confirm that?

Please.. Somebody will make a "really" adjustable light settings util with this SDK.. I want to set min backlit level to lower for totaly dark enviroments... because default one is too much than required..

Sorry for my poor English..

[Koush]

Sure, I'll make a utility to do that. Give me a bit though, I'm coding up the Nav sensor SDK right now.

Thank you,
I have noticed on the new Bang & Ollefson and another new highend phone [not iphone] they are set so that when the display is away from the air is is visable...against ear off......thus...

when you are looking at the display it is visable
when phone is covered by ear...display is off
take phone away from ear....display comes back on
back to ear display goes off....etc...


This is a fantastic feature and has a wow factor as a sales tool.

This is exactly happen what i saw a few days ago..

iGo2008 running, a phone call received and i'm noticed display on & off with light sensor working !!!! I'm looked at the display it is visible (...from 10-15cm distance from my ear..) , when phone is covered my ear...display is off... I'm tried over and over again... still worked at the end of conversation... But when i'm closed iGO2008 and tried again... Not happen again...

Any ideas ???

Nice work Koush - and I completely agree with the above quote. I'm surprised HTC didn't have this already included, having to press a button to wake the display is kind of stupid since it gets turned off by the light sensor
