values[0]: Azimuth, angle between the magnetic north direction and the y-axis, around the z-axis (0 to 359). 0=North, 90=East, 180=South, 270=West

values[1]: Pitch, rotation around x-axis (-180 to 180), with positive values when the z-axis movestowardthe y-axis.

values[2]: Roll, rotation around y-axis (-90 to 90), with positive values when the x-axis movestoward

Note:This definition is different fromyaw, pitch and rollused in aviation where the X axis is along the long side of the plane (tail to nose).

Note:This sensor type exists for legacy reasons, please usein conjunction withandto compute these values instead.

Important note:For historical reasons the roll angle is positive in the clockwise direction (mathematically speaking, it should be positive in the counter-clockwise direction).

由圖可以知道values[0]是繞Yaw軸旋轉得到的值，values[1]是繞Pitch軸旋轉得到的值，values[2]是繞Roll軸旋轉得到的值。

    }
	
	@Override
