Is gyroscope sensor available for Versa 3

[nobtiba]

I wrote Watch app that can receive gyroscope and other sensor data on Versa but when I edit it for Versa 3, I do not see gyroscope data is showing. Is it because Versa 3 does not have gyroscope data or it does have but my code have some issues?

Thank you,

I think only Versa and Sense have gyro, although the Versa 3 store page implies that it does.

Hello, Who can answer me. Is in the versa 3 or versa 4 a gyroscope available yes or no. In the specs is written yes, in the documentation is no, and in the versa itself, after checking via a script, it states no gyroscope available. 

So I'm confused. Is it a yes or no for the versa 3 and 4 about gyroscope. If yes, please inform me how to get gyroscope data available. because now the fit sdk script states that there is no gyroscope.

Thanks in advance

Ni @nobtiba - it looks like a code problem or permissions issue. See Gyroscope which might help

Hi @mweusthof -  See this summary for the Versa 3

You can't program for a Versa 4.

Hoi,

That's the whole point. According to this script, which runs accelerometer correctly, it states that this device DOES not has a gyroscope. What's should be changed to the code. Also I've given permissions if needed.


Sincerely,

@mweusthof - are you running your program on the simulator or the watch?

[mweusthof]

Hello,

I'm running the script directly on the watch versa 3. The accelerometer works fine, but the message about gyroscope states not available on this device.

I don't think the Versa 3 has a gyroscope (but Sense 1 does). One way to tell is by selecting 'Swim' in the Exercise app. If it claims to be able to count laps automatically, it has a gyro.

This page doesn't list gyro for Versa 3.

I can confirm that versa 3 does not have a gyroscope sensor, I have tested simply using the code here https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/device-api/gyroscope/

I have tested for the other sensors made apps for them and they are ok, so it's really missing the gyro in versa 3.

@nobtiba- this page lists the Versa 3 as having a gyroscope https://www.fitbit.com/global/us/products/smartwatches/versa3#features

It may be a bug or an incorrect specification
