Hey everyone,
I am using the accelerometer API and I encountered a problem with the timestamps. I use this chunk
acc.addEventListener("reading", () => { for (let index = 0; index < acc.readings.timestamp.length; index++) { console.log(acc.readings.timestamp[index])})
to read the stamps. The resulting outputs in the console are 6 to 7 digit numbers. My experiments suggest that these numbers correspond to the milliseconds past since some event I don't know.
Do you know how to properly interpret these and how to convert them to a regular 12 digit (ms) UNIX timestamps?

You'd need your own timestamp, the one in the sensor is:
Timestamp of the reading in milliseconds.
NOTE: this is relative to an unspecified arbitrary
0
time, ornull
if no reading is available (when the sensor is not yet activated and there are no valid cached values that can be used).

Hey Jon,
thanks so much for your fast reply. I think it would be incredibly useful to automatically have UNIX timestamps in the actual sensor readout.

What's the point of this timestamp then? If we cannot use it?
