Thanks for the details. I'm looking for any way to make the behaviour more reliable.
Currently, the magnetometer basically can't be depended on for continuous operation.
When the spontaneous magnetometer reset happens,
Puck.magOnsays the magnetometer is on, even though it isn't. Can we detect inmagOnthat the reset has happened and warn about it?A battery level of 38% isn't something I would have guessed to be "low" or "critical". Having individual components fail at different battery/voltage/load levels is an unexpected behaviour in my opinion. Would be nice to mention this caveat somewhere.
For newcomers like myself, it's easy to see Puck as a nice little "black box" with a nice deterministic dependable API, and forget that the API is just a very thin layer over low level electronics.
