03 · Filtering mode

Auto defaults to raw on stable sensors, lightly damps stationary jitter, and snaps back to raw during turns. Other modes remain for comparison. The sliders affect manual modes only.

04 · Test session

Try: hold steady for ten seconds, rotate slowly through north, turn 180° quickly, then stop. Export readings and settings for comparison on different devices.
