@awaittrot Thank you! We were not aware that there was another compass app around, certainly it was not our intention to duplicate effort. We'd be happy to collaborate to produce an app which can work on both versions of the Pinephone.
@threepwood Thanks for the suggestions. The terminal output was there for testing purposes but it should be pretty easy to streamline it a bit and add some arguments to make it more useful.
Indeed the calibration is very important and it is a top priority to write a tool to automatize it. The default values work for me but obviously this is very device-dependent.
About the sampling frequency, as it is now root access seems to be necessary to change it. I'm not sure yet what would be the best way to solve this, but I don't think that asking for permissions in the app each time is a good idea. Maybe somebody with more knowledge about Kernel Drivers and permissions can help here.
