Hi @johan_m_o, some measured accelerometer logs against a fit bit would be great. If you could do ones a 1,2,3 miles that would be great. Also good to record what the Bangle counted by noting start and end counts. If you attach the logs here I will check them in.
Yeah, I'm gonna walk down to the store in moment (about 1.4 km one way). Meanwhile I've been sitting at the computer (not much typing, mostly research) for just over 2 hours (about 125 minutes) and the Fitbit registered 5 steps while the Bangle registered 46. I did actually have the accelerometer logger running (wasn't expecting to sit that long and then I forgot about the logging being active), but the file is too big for me to pull of the watch... The Web IDE just times out while trying to save it.
Edit: change of plans... No more time for a walk. Something happened to my watch when trying to pull that large file from it through the Web IDE. All of a sudden I was experiencing severe lag and the watch would lock up. After a full reset it seems better (no lockups), but the "A Configurable Analog Clock" still only updates the seconds hand every 2-3 seconds. I'm pretty sure it properly updated every second before... Although, it's not affecting Anton Clock, so it might be an ACAC thing.

Ref over counting, that is the key challenge. Its a very fine balance between stopping counts during driving, typing and washing up and accurately starting to count when walking. All step counters over count on non step activities to some extent, even Fitbit and Amizfit count steps while sleeping, some more than others, it's a question of how much.
The latest change, hats off to @jeffmer has resolved the bias issue between different accelerometers. There will continue be more work to do on the step counter until someone comes up with a new approach that smashes our current results.
