Although the code is all my own, when accessing the Sudden Motion Sensor I use techniques discovered by a number of people:
- Amit Singh (see http://www.kernelthread.com/software/ams)
- Pall Thayer (see http://pallit.lhi.is/palli/dashlevel)
- Randy Green (see http://www.slappingturtle.com/home)
Thanks also to the people who have written and sent in calibration records. Thanks especially to those who have given clear and informative bug reports: you made improving SeisMac a lot easier.
Support
