h2. FAQ

Question: How did you arrived at the formula for the step detection?
Answer: It's completely a result of experimentation. I know this is lame, but this was a weekend hack I made just for myself.

Question: How does the step detection algorithm work?
Answer: Basically, it aggregates the sensor values, finds the maximum and minimum, and if the difference is bigger than a value (which depends on the sensitivity setting) then it counts it as a step. There's is some additional optimization, which I arrived to through experimentation.

Question: In some other place, it says it's licensed under GPL, but here it says "No restrictions"; which one is true?
Answer: The one attached to the source code applies, so for this version "No restrictions". Previously it was under GPL, so some forks may still be under GPL.
