Gyrometer always returns 0 vectors in Unity 5

Hi,

I'm trying to use Gyrometer in my Unity 5 Project, but after so many hours of digging I cannot come up with a solution.

The thing is, the same code works fine on Unity 4.6, but not on 5.0. It looks like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  void Start()
2.     {
3.         originalPos = gameObject.transform.position;
4.         GyroscopeEnabled = SystemInfo.supportsGyroscope;
5.         if (GyroscopeEnabled)
6.         {
7.             gyro = Input.gyro;
8.             gyro.enabled = true;
9.         }
10.     }
11.  
12.     void FixedUpdate()
13.     {
14.         if (GyroscopeEnabled)
15.         {
16.             xTilt = Input.acceleration.x;
17.             yTilt = -Input.acceleration.y;
18.            
19.             //This does not work either
20.             //xTilt = gyro.attitude.x;
21.             //yTilt = gyro.attitude.y;
22.  
23.             //This works. I was just checking if the problem is for sure in gyro
24.             //xTilt = Mathf.Sin(Time.time);
25.             //yTilt = Mathf.Cos(Time.time);
26.  
27.             targetPos = new Vector3(originalPos.x + xTilt * sensitivity, originalPos.y + yTilt * sensitivity, originalPos.z);
28.  
29.             gameObject.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(originalPos, targetPos, smoothSpeed);
30.  
31.         }
32.     }
33.  
34.     void OnGUI()
35.     {
36.         if (GyroscopeEnabled)
37.         {
38.  
39.                 GUI.Label(new Rect(10, Screen.height / 2 - 100, 500, 100), "gyro supported " + Time.time);
40.                 GUI.Label(new Rect(10, Screen.height / 2, 500, 100), "rotation rate:" + gyro.rotationRate.ToString());
41.                 GUI.Label(new Rect(10, Screen.height / 2 + 50, 500, 100), "gravity:      " + gyro.gravity.ToString());
42.                 GUI.Label(new Rect(10, Screen.height / 2 + 100, 500, 100), "attitude:     " + gyro.attitude.ToString());
43.                 GUI.Label(new Rect(10, Screen.height / 2 + 150, 500, 100), "type:         " + gyro.GetType().ToString());
44.                 GUI.Label(new Rect(10, Screen.height / 2 + 200, 500, 100), "xTil:         " + xTilt.ToString());
45.                 GUI.Label(new Rect(10, Screen.height / 2 + 250, 500, 100), "yTil:         " + yTilt.ToString());
46.         }
47.         else
48.         {
49.             GUI.Label(new Rect(10, Screen.height / 2 - 100, 500, 100), "gyro not supported");
50.         }
51.     }

On app builded with 5.0, all displayed values are 0, no matter what I do with my smartphone.
On 4.6 works fine and shows correct values, so it's not a falut of gyroscope itself.
I calibrated gyroscope in my android device before trying to use it, worked fine.

I was looking into PlayerSetting>Other Setting, for iOS i have Accelerometer Frequency and i made sure is it NOT set on Disabled, but for Android there is no such an option.

I also tryied to add "android.hardware.sensor.accelerometer" to AndroidManifest, but it was not a suprice that it didn't help.

Did you run across similar problem or maybe have an idea what could I do?

Can you check if this code works for you in Unity 5?

Thank you in advance for answers

Sincerly,
Matt

 

I have the same problem, did you solve it by any chance ?

 

I didn't, just gave up on idea.

I think it is the problem of some plugin which is overriding values of gyro, so not really Unity fault. Gyro works find on new "empty" project.

I was searching for the code which does this inside of plugin, but I could not find it.

If you will find the answer post it here please.

Have a good day.

 

Same problem folks

 

There have been several major versions of 5.x since this thread was posted. Are you on the latest?
