post #19 'still does count too many steps from just arm movement'
Would taking a GPS position and verifiying has 'actually moved' from last reading help eliminate accelerometer movement attributed to arm waving?
Robin-
GPS would help of course. But that would need a GPS fix.
Annoying to get this for each walk and impossible indoors.I was thinking to check forward movement of the body, but that will get too complicated for me very soon.
I am satisfied with what I got now, I just have to find the right settings for me.
Currently I am testing:
- 20 steps in 20 seconds
- Active resets every 30 seconds.
But I will never be able to filter out false steps when doing a lot of arm movement.
But honestly, all arm-worn pedometers do count those.
I just did not want to have 3000 steps just standing at my desk working. - 20 steps in 20 seconds

My solution is working pretty well, but I still have to do some tests of settings.
Currently I have:
10 steps in 15 seconds needed to get steps counted.
This counts steps on a walk ok, but still does count too many steps from just arm movement.
I will try 20 steps in 20 seconds today.
