- h2. FAQ
- Question: How did you arrived at the formula for the step detection?
- Answer: It's completely a result of experimentation. I know this is lame, but this was a weekend hack I made just for myself.
- Question: How does the step detection algorithm work?
- Answer: Basically, it aggregates the sensor values, finds the maximum and minimum, and if the difference is bigger than a value (which depends on the sensitivity setting) then it counts it as a step. There's is some additional optimization, which I arrived to through experimentation.
