Hello,
I've received my BangleJS a couple of days ago and I'm very happy about how easy it is to program. Unfortunately, for my applications, I would need a rather good accuracy for both steps and heart rate. Let's discuss step counting here.
I noticed that the accelerometer does not include embedded step counting and that steps are computed by the Espruino firmware (here?). The algorithm unfortunately is very inaccurate: it waaaaaay over estimates my activity.
Do you have plans in this regard? Maybe include an accelerometer with an embedded step counter in the next model (if any) ?
If it helps, we are working on a C implementation of this algorithm specifically for microcontrollers and wearables. I can tell you when it's ready so maybe you could include it in the next firmware.
Cheers.
