Earlier in this thread, Jens noted the potential for use of the gyro to impact battery use.

On the issue of power consumption, I wonder how the original Phyphox experiment for Puck-js handles power management. As I understand it, best practice for optimizing power consumption uses Puck.accelOff() to minimize unproductive drain by the gyro sensor when it is not in active use. If the Phyphox Puck-js Accel/Gyro experiment does not explicitly turn off the sensor, does that mean the puck continues to power the gyro even after it is no longer being used in an experiment?

Do we need to add an experiment termination sequence to ensure better power management?

The experiment has served you well so it should work the same for others. Smile So, some backstory might help to redo your research.

Ad power saving: as far as we can see, this is not (properly) possible with phyphox right now. It looks that removing the battery is the best anyway if you are not using the puck…
