accDisplay - View/Record/Playback accelerometers' data
 

Here's another "sunday app" (strictly aimed at developers/curious people).
I think lot's of people out there are wondering what you can and what you cannot detect with the accels.. to help this kind of questioning I wrote this small app... "accDisplay".

At the main window you can watch in real time the data coming from the accels. and some graphical representation of three vectors (yellow) and their sum (blue).

Using the buttons on the bottom you can record a stream of data, saving it in a xml file and also playback those files. When in playback mode you can change the playback velocity so that it's easier to evaluate some "movement".

There's even an option for Exponential Smoothing of the data being displayed.

Well... have fun..
(See the bright side: this is a new thread without any complaints/bug/hating)

Happy n900 owner here!

This look pretty cool. I'm going to try it out.

will it be available in extras?

ok.. this brings a good question... What should one do to submit an app to extras?

dput to where?
Well.. I'm familiar with ubuntu's revu and all.. but I'm still postponing meamo's..

Hi again.. just to ask for some votes for the app.. I believe it is ready for "prime-time", simple but useful..
It already got 6 votes (out of 10)... vote on:

It'll be interesting if the data could be used to calculate velocity/acceleration.

Hi, cpscotti.

Is this your app? I'm interested in expanding the scope of the app for interpreting on PC/device and I was wondering where to direct my inquiry. I was thinking about timestamped acc data for more precise playback. Also, is the log rate increaseable?

Trial car run here.

Would it be difficult to add a time-stamp to the logged data?
