I'm trying to add our proximity sensor to our BSP. I've created the kernel driver and a HAL class, and I'm testing it using the AndroSensor from the Google Play.

I'm receiving events in my HAL class (see below class), but the AndroSensor app never get them. Any help on what I'm missing/or any pointers would be much appreciated!

My HAL class:

I had to call the SensorBase enable function from my enable function. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to investigate exactly why that is (Which really annoys my thorough mindset. I normally wouldn't check anything in that I didn't fully understand). Next up is the vibrator. It doesn't have a chip to control it, straight on/off. I could only find drivers for vibrators with a control chip, so if anyone has some pointers feel free to enlighten me... I'll make a discussion thread tomorrow...
