Solution: @sacredgeometry pointed out that I needed to write out my reference to the full extent to differentiate the two gyroscopes. While I had tried InputSystem.Gyroscope vs Gyroscope thinking the UnityEngine portion was automatically included, I in fact needed to write it out as UnityEngine.InputSystem.Gyroscope .
Building on a previous script to see what sensors my phone has, I decided to test for all sensors in the new input management system. Full code at bottom. Everything is set up fine except that I get the error message: Error CS0104 'Gyroscope' is an ambiguous reference between 'UnityEngine.InputSystem.Gyroscope' and 'UnityEngine.Gyroscope'
To use the new Input Management System I need to include a using UnityEngine.InputSystem statement. However, I also need the using UnityEngine statement; otherwise, Monobehavior is not recognized. So as far as I know, I need both statements.
I tried to specify in code that the gyroscope I wanted to use was the InputSystem gyroscope by declaring it this way: InputSystem.Gyroscope gyroscope; However, that leads to Error CS0426The type name 'Gyroscope' does not exist in the type 'InputSystem' . Does anyone know how to clear up the ambiguity between gyroscopes when using Input Management System 1.1.0? The user guide does not make any statements about confusion between the two.
