Description
I'm working with a MacBook Pro (M4 Pro) lid angle sensor (VendorID: 0x5AC, ProductID: 0x8104) and have successfully accessed it using Python with the hidapi library. However, I have two specific questions about its capabilities:
Questions
-
Sensor Precision
The raw data I'm receiving from the sensor appears to be integer values. Is this sensor capable of providing higher precision measurements (e.g., decimal places beyond what I'm currently extracting)?
If so:
Is there a different method to extract higher precision data from the raw bytes? -
Sampling Rate Improvement
The sensor seems to update approximately once per second in my current implementation.
Is it possible to increase the sampling rate of this sensor?
Specifically:
Is the ~1Hz update rate a hardware limitation or a software/driver limitation?
Are there any commands or configuration settings that can be sent to the sensor to increase its reporting frequency?
Does the sensor support different reporting modes with varying sampling rates?
Thank you for your assistance!
