Gyro feature works nicely on my Samsung S8 phone, but doesn't work on my Galaxy A tablet. Nothing wrong with the accelerometer - but there is simply zero response when the gyro is enabled.

I made a little settings icon on the upper right of the screen. Click it, and you'll see a few tools fly out, one of which is a gyroscope icon. Clicking this on and off works great on the phone, but not the tablet. I wonder if it works on an iPad! Anyone care to test it out?

I've been using Chrome on the tablet, btw. And the tour is hosted on a secure WordPress page.

Add a rectangle to the skin and give it a colour logic block.
Has Gyro change the colour.
Does that work?
Thing to note, even though a device may have a gyro built in, it does not necessarily mean the data is passed to the browser. Seen this in many Android devices.
Doing the trick with the logic block will test this.
