Hi Bastien, Thanks for providing this suggestion. I can see this approach work for situations like screen rotation on tablets. The device I'm involved with is an input device, which needs a high poll rate for acceleration / velocity and needs to be paired with the button / axes data. Evdev would be most appropriate.So more like a Wiimote than a builtin sensor. What will consume events in user-space? A specialised application?
Correct see it more like a wiimote-like device. I expect many userspace applications (desktop or embedded) to ultimately support this device and many existing applications could already use the device except they can't utilize the motion sensors.
