Way to save battery life?

ijmo

Hi. I'm developing an android app with MetaMotionR.

Is RouteComponent.limit() helpful to save batteries?

Or not, is there any way to save battery?

Thanks.

No, that won't save battery.

What sensors are you running and how fast are you sampling them?

Gyro, Orientation, Linear Acceleration

SensorFusionBosch.correctedAngularVelocity().addRouteAsync( /* process data / );
SensorFusionBosch.eulerAngles().addRouteAsync( / process data / );
SensorFusionBosch.linearAcceleration().addRouteAsync( / process data */ );

I'm currently testing on 100hz.

You're running the most power hungry sensor (gyro) and using sensor fusion. Either disable sensor fusion and run the gyro at a lower data rate, or attach a bigger LiPo battery.

Thank you!!
