Problem with Gyroscope

ExCx

When I try to start the gyro, it gives the following error:

calling 'start' on bad self (GGGyroscope expected, got table)

The code is simply:
gyroscope = Gyroscope.new()
gyroscope:start()

Can't we use this on the regular player? I cannot deploy the app to a device right now.

@ExCx I think Accelerometer, Geolocation and Gyro works only on devices (both native and Gideros player), there is no data to pass to them on desktop players

ExCx

Hmm, I thought so. But, why are there Rotate right\left options in the player? Or why aren't those options simulate gyro and send relevant data to the program?

@ExCx those rotation are meant to change between Landscape and portrait. Just so you could develop app in any of those modes. They won't produce any actual events to change orientation or any other data

It's all because the desktop platforms do not have any sensors and @atilim is the kind that does not implement nice to have features, when he has much more important and needed things to implement.

I see. Looks like I have to wait for a while so I can deploy and test my app. Thanks for the answer.
