Description
Hi Walter,
I downloaded the new version of measure and run some test. I noticed
that the voltage sensor button has a different behavior... perhaps the
right one, but let me explain. There are two button in sensors:
resistance and voltage sensors.
I am only using resistance sensors so far (temp, air-humidity, light,
magnet, switch) and the data reading varies... in many cases when you
connect the sensor, you can't see the reading because it is out of the
range that can be displayed. For example, I just connected a light
sensor (pic included) and I see the reading, but when I cover the
sensor, the reading disappears. I know it is working because when I
hit record I can see the reading at the top (data log included).
We had that problem in Nigeria and we used the voltage sensor button,
which showed the data reading at a different range (like the button
image suggests). I clicked the voltage button now and instead of the
behavior I just described, I noticed the microphone port is disabled.
As I said, I don't know if the voltage sensor is behaving the right
way, but we need to find a way to display the curve when the reading
varies.
Best,

unable to select voltage mode, bias is not turned off though display says"sensors DC bias/offset disabled"

I'm about 75% done with a new release of Measure (30) that eliminates all the alsamixer (amixer) calls (tip of the hat to Sascha Silbe). Hopefully it will address this problem as well. I'll be attaching a version for testing soon.

Update: I still haven't managed to sort out the proper settings for data input on the XO...

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
There is still an unresolved issue regarding some sensors on the XO 1.0 running F11. But by and large, things are working. We can continue to track the calibration issue in ticket #2035
(1) Add sliders for gain and bias on sensor input.
(2) Specify more granularity in sample timer.
(3) Double check voltage and resistance calibrations
