Finaly I can measure my G-Forces during Acrobatic Paragliding flying...ihuu...nice one dude
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] JanDaMan:
nice app, i was wondering if you could impliment in a dyno system so that the program is able to generate a kind of horsepower info from the g-info, there is a iphone app which does this. I'm not sure of the maths for it but it would b very cool feature to have even if its not all that accurate lol.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] haggz:
Not a very good idea, at best it would give you a very rough estimate unless we're only talking low speeds and "rolling without slipping" conditions between tire and ground.

I think integrating them would be super though ;) (Integrate once = speed, integrate twice = distance traveled)

Plotting the values could be intresting, but maybe its better to log and plot later on the computer.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
For the second time (if you guys reand teh last few posts) i already said im working on it

0-100km/h (or 0-60mh) time

HP

and other like the iphone version.

My only delay is that i don't know how to draw a graphic in .net C# so im exporting to a log and viewing in a pc the speed/time graphic

Il realize a new version in a couple of days after some more testing and tweaks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] JanDaMan:
o ok kool man, thanks again for the effort, its very much appreciated :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mzperxfl:
Ikari,

Just a few ideas

-pls do not give up the development and reach the same feature like dynolicious

- if possible integrate your app to set a trigger value and starting the video recording /i have additional idea for this like recording 20sec before and 20 sec after when trigger reach the setting value/

I'm look forward
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
Im no going to rest until i get the best out of iy ;)

About the feature what is your idea for it?

Actually i have that idea some days ago but to a totally different program.

At least in Portugal every time you stump a car from behind your always the guilty even if the other car stop repentantly or was making a reverse maneuver or something.

My idea was to record previews and after a hard brake, and use the video to prove that was not your fault.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cgeboers:
Graphic example

I have here a small example that extends my previous example and shows a simple graphic. I have included the sources, as well as the installable CAB file.

The project does not only contain the Graphic, but shows also how you can create a cab file that can be installed. I hope it is of some help to you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
This is great this is execly what i was needing to continue my prodgect, i will stydy your code im get back to you whit a better Gforce :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mzperxfl:
Ikari

You can use this recording like full surveillance recording.

You have to recording continuous.

example. if you like to get total 40sec video than you recording in four 10sec segments if the trigger stop the recording than finishing running segment an also recording a new 10sec

if no trigger, upon finished the last 10second after rewrite all 10sec segments

maybe sounds complicate:rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mzperxfl:
good solution I like this way

if possible integrate this skin also;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] chrism225:
any chance of loggging time in seconds from the start of the log using decimal places? it would be easier to import the time into other software then. Iwas trying to fft the data and i wanted to automatically pick the time step.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fi-voxel:
"Earth" - mode

For those who has touch pro and has NET problems:

http://rs286.rapidshare.com/files/74438597/NETCFv35.zip

install the WM version.

And for developer:

Could you add an non absolute measurement mode...

I don't know how G-Sensor works, but if it sends X,Y,Z in spherical:

One input field where you define normal gravity G=(1.00 most likely)

Then calibration would be N=sqrt(x^2+y^2+z^2)

And the result would be R=abs((N-sqrt(x^2+y^2+z^2))*G)

...So you wouldn't have to worry about the angle of the phone when you are just measuring how hard you can throw your phone in the wall;D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Hakko:
I like this App, but there only one thing thats a bit anoying..

When driving, with the phone in somesort of carkit sticked to the front window running Pocket GForce :cool:

But then after 3 minutes.. the phone locks.. so i unlock it.. but the app is closed..

so i have to go to explorer -> apps -> Pocket GForce.. (while driving, on a small screen.. :( )

So i was wondering is it possible to let this app prevent the phone from locking..?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
Hi all sorry for bein missing for some days as some know i work in a school and classes are starting a new year so im kind of stuff whit work.

Any way Hakko u can simply turn off the stamby timer (what i normally have off) and to open it again u can go to the task manager and open it, no need to go back to the file explorer.

If any one know how to make the program not to go let the PDA go to stand by plz direct me...

And you can download the new 0.03 whit the installer so no more exe just a nice G icon in your program list :)

I will continue to work on the project but i need to work in my school so i can get money to eat and eat to program :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DarkRay_:
see this
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Hakko:
Yeah.. thats where the phone lets me down :p I can't turn off the standby timer.. max is 5min on batt, and 30min charging.. but don't have a car-charger so in-car my max is 5 min..

But no rush, schools important, and work even more :rolleyes:

You know what would make it the perfect app!? :

[Apple copy mode]

A timed run (1/4 mile 1/2 mile 0-60mph 0-100km/h)

[/Apple copy mode]

I have seen this on winMo, but it all costs money :(

Don't know how difficult it is to implement gps functions.. But it sure would make this a killer app!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] chail(HTC):
of course you can

settings -> energy stuff -> 3rd tab -> remove tick @switch off in battery mode
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] chail(HTC):
btw i did my first test (short drive with my car) using this program a few hours ago. actually i am quite impresse. nice work there :)

i used the log feature to evaluate the lateral accelaration in curves and put in an excel tab.

still i have a few points to improve. hope you don't mind but as you already got a list for using up your free time, why not put these on it too:

1. the time stamps need a few more decimal places. i get about 4 results per second. (fast and dirty way: i just looked how many results he gave me in these 2 mins and and then got something like 236,7 ms between 2 values -> added it to initial time)

2. when calibrating you could actually also set the up/down, acc/break in the right direction too. the 1 g gives you your up/down direction. the condition must be that you can draw a line from your mobile parallel to the car's back-front-axis but it can then be placed with any inclination

3. would love to combine it with gps :) ok far fetched... :rolleyes:

*edit* just saw that this was already mentioned in #44 and #45. sorry about that chief
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ipsanto:
be really keen to see this thing finished :)

all the best getting it to work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] toucankiwi:
Looks cool. I was trying it yesterday morning...

Agreed with the previous poster about wanting better time resolution... I'm getting multiple datapoints per second which makes it look awkward when I import it into Excel.

Other thing I'm not clear on, is how is the accelerometer "calibrated"... what does this do? It looks like its sensitive to torques (aka I calibrate it, then rotate the device 90 degrees and its immediately off, then rotate it back 90 degrees and its fine). I'm guessing this is adding some noise to my runs. So do I need to strap my phone to the car in a fixed orientation, then hit Calibrate, then go?

Ya, I'm an engineer spare me doing the math... anyone have rough numbers for how 0->60 times convert to pulling how many G's? (aka if a car does ->60 in 5 seconds, what would an average accerlation be?) Same for brakiing time... obviously braking you should be pulling alot more G's.

-=TK
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] chail(HTC):
with this data you can only cacluate the acceleration assuming a constant acc.

60 mph = 96560.64 m / 3600 s = 26.8224 m/s

that means 26.8224 m/s / 5 s = 5.36448 m/s^2 ~ 0,5 g
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
OK this is my come back to work, i worked very hard to make this and dind event est the gps properly :P

This is just the tip of the iceberg to show the new functions and that i didn't abandon the project.

New update in a few days.

Can i ask the admin/moderators to make me a space to a second post after the main one? so i can post more pictures plz.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] swiftgs:
re

havent had time to test it yet, but it looks promising!!! Will follow this thread closely and keep up the good work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] laser21:
Please add maximum speed in the log!

Thanks, otherwise great app!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] emre_aachen:
Whenever I turn on GPS, GForce program terminates itself.... Any idea?

Plus, the speed log takes data only from GPS or it integrates the acceleration?

Thanks,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
New version every one DYNAMO version :D

You can now time you 0-60miles 0-100km or any speed that you chose :D

For the ones that ask for a speed log, DONE

And about the one litle bug of the gps. if you have signal and lost it completlly, the program will crash, that normaly never happen when you are one the road but will try to fix it.

Plz comment the new feactures and more ideas for the program.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] emre_aachen:
Ikari, how do you calculate the speed? By using GPS or Accelerometer?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
ATM is starting whit acc and using gps, im not whit too much spare time so i did it as a plus, new versions will be whit acc. any way the gps is good enotf for hi speeds, lower <60km/h are not very accurate.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] WhiteCell:
Nice work m8

next step can be dyno.....

u input weitgh of the car and it can calculate and draw HP diagram
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tigger80:
Not working, says it needs newer version of net framework.

have 1.93 rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] WatskeBart:
This app keeps getting better and better. :D

Is it possible to create a visual representation for your app like you quoted in this post or something like you see on television when watching MotoGP/Formula1.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mzperxfl:
few things

Ikari your app great !!

Just a few things

-my gps delayed proxy 3-4 sec

-if I try speed up (like disable gps log file) then error coming up
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Blazeitup123:
very nice app :D

tho im not getting any altitude values only "..."
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dolphine:
Great tool! Would it be possible to create a command-line version store the sensor readings in some registry keys so that they are accessible from other programs or Mortscript like e.g. rk-LocSwitch does in case of cell tower id?

It would be absolutely awesome...

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] benko286:
nice app!!!!!!!

i must try this
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
Ok lets start giving some answers:

Probably done in the next week

Sure easy, can i ask every one to post the ones that they like the most? Or a BMP file for skin is better??? Stupid question but send some exemples.

Dont know the motive, mine is working fine, and opening/closing log works no problem. Any one else having the same problem???

Small error in code thx for the info.

If you just want a app that keeps updating a file is easy, but for what purpose execly?. I dindt get the rk-LocSwitch part.

Any way my car is fix and i was driving this few days and i was thinking that the program should be in landscape so the info (gsensor and speed) could be much larger. I already test it and its much better and i made an option to self rotated to landscape and back in the end.

So what are your opinion? Portaind or Landscape
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] schmeichler:
just my opinion as asked: Portrait - as car mount is oriented like this
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] WhiteCell:
is it possible to use only g-sensor to calculate 0-100 time ?

coz i noticed today that i hit 100km/h 2-3 seconds before gps registerd 100km/h
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
Im afraid its not possible cuz the i need faster data that i can get from the sensor other factor is that the WM don't give a fraction of second of time, so using delays are never accurate.

Any way i will try it, and the motive that the gps is 2-3seconds late just remember most cars never give a precise speed normally 5km/h more then the real speed..

Plz team give feedback for the questions that i make so i can make a bether program for every one:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Blazeitup123:
love the app! all i request is graphic interface with f1 style 2d G indicator. maybe some google maps integration. all in all its a great show off piece! :D

btw, yesterday i was having a chin wag with the Western Canada Mercedes Benz rep, i showed him your app and he almost fell over. there is a new dealer grand opening in my city in 3 weeks and their bringing an SLR. i'ma try to see if i can get in for a ride with my diamond.... see what happens... :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] WhiteCell:
if u referring on the orientation i prefer Portrait

my speedometer is pretty accurate according to GPS..

i think it GPS lag...

for example Garmin has 2-3 seconds lag to...

but iGo 8 considers that lag and positions the icon of car a bit farther (in iGo8 u got small dot that shows acurate GPS position and triangle icon that recalculates real position.

i dont know how dynolitius but u can see for some ideas

http://www.dynolicious.com/index-2.html
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] WhiteCell:
maybe dynolicious style is ql...well it looks awesome to me
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Blazeitup123:
yes, but with less iphone :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mandragore:
I can tilt my Brodit holder both portrait and landscape, so I'd like both interfaces.

Maybe Expo7 can help you design a Pocket GForce interface. He has designed interfaces for a couple of other applications like G-Alarm, GPS Cycle Computer and GRemote.

dooooh :p :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Kiina0:
Hi.

Love the potetial of this app. and would like to get it for my HTC Toch Diamond with Windows mobile 6.1.

Tough i have problem to install it...

When i click on "Setup" in the phone it takes me further to a webbrowser (with Opera), and the screen stays white blank.

Al others app works perfekt (ex. "turn sensor lock") and i can surf the internet without any problems.

So if you guys kindly can help me out?

That´s would be nice!

Thanks in behalf =)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] WatskeBart:
A visual representation like this would be B.E.A.utiful :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
This is my try to make a more "diamond" interface is just a test but i would like some comments about

All windows are now back and you have some new icons to chose the tabs.

The imagens is part of the so asked graphic dysplay of the gforce, and i tink it suks, simply cuz this is my first (C# & WM) program, so sorry for that, any way i still prefer to make some good use of the sensor and put the aspect to last.

Any way after some googling i fond a web site showing that HP is

hp = weight / (ET / 5.825)3 ET is time to make 1/4mile

or

hp = weight * (speed / 234)3 speed is speed when crossing 1/4mile

can any one confirm that?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] WhiteCell:
wow man it looks awesome.

maybe the dot should be in different color but its not an huge issue

cant confirm the HP thing :P

just post it and we will test it :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] WatskeBart:
A visual representation like your example would be great, but please move the "G" icon to the bottom right. :p

The menu interface looks sweet dude :eek:

I can't wait untill this version comes out :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Blazeitup123:
great start. i would like some more color to show off this great screen. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
Hehe I think you dindt notice the values the "G" is the pointer :P i didn t know what to to so i use "G" to mark the position, if any one have a better idea, of if you prefer just a small dot. Actually i was looking for some weight icon but couldn't find a nice one to use.

I ask for every one that uses the program do give feedback, the last version had 172 downloads last time i check and i get low on feedback so plz say if you like it or not.

I try to goggle "Pocket Gforce" and i find lots of foruns talking about it, French, Italian, Greek, German etc. maybe thats the motive the low feedback :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vasmav0:
guys

after i install the program and when i try to run it, I get an error about invalid certificate...

This happens with most of the programs

Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] WhiteCell:
i gave u some feedback :)

mostly suggestions :P because there are no bugs.....at least i didn't have any :)

so when can we expect new version ?:p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Corsa2:
This is an app i am really looking forward to. It is definitelly on my wish list.

I have installed it with success and I am testing it.

Wish list

I would really appreciate if there could be a "flat mode" i.e. the phone is facing upwards. That would be perfect fit in my F 328.

I would prefer a GUI with as LARGE buttons as possible.

Comments

Menu > Big > Left/Right shows Acc/Brake

Portrait vs. landscape. I prefer portrait.

Question

I reached nearly 3 lateral Gs in my Alfa Romeo due to oscillations because of a far to instable mounting (should have been 0.8 maximum). Of course I must mount the TP very firm to the dashboard. However, is there a need for som filter function to smooth out the most extreme transients? I think it would be good with som consistency of the readings when evaluating different setup on the car.

What is the samling frequence for the moment?

Ikari, I really hope that you keep up the good work. It's loking very good so far. v1.0 must be awsome.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] chrism225:
Filtering

If there is filtering, it should only be done to the display, not the log file. This then gives the option for the user to apply any filtering they wish to the log file.

The other things i would ask for, but i dont think they are all possible:

1) log file in seconds with decimal points.

2) store the data in the log file with as many decimal points as possible, last time i looked it didnt look to sensitive. I would also like to use this program to record movements/vibrations at a muhc lower amplitude but higher frequency then what you would get in a car.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] RdKetchup:
Love the app so far, can't wait for the next version with the new graphics.

Great work.

One suggestion for a small feature, I would like the possibility to swap the up-down/accel-decel axis. The way I usually sets my Diamond in the car is laying flat.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tbcc:
Feedback

Hi Ikari!

Thank you for this program! It's awesome! I really love it! I am gliding so I'll find it very useful when I'll do a corkscrew. There are several Gs (2-3G) for a longer period (2-3 secs) when you get out of a corkscrew. My face usually melts down :)

You asked for some feedback: yesterday I tried it on a bus (not that big of an acceleration :) and it was lying on the top of my knee. As far as I noticed it didn't sense the forces very well. When the bus was turning left, the G meter also went right. However, when the bus turned right about the same speed and same angle, there was not that big of a G force to the left... I'll give it some more tries, but has anyone else noticed something like this?

Does it actually work accurately lying flat? Of course I calibrated. Does it give you the right numbers? Or only when you use it the way the LCD faces the back of the car?

The graphical interface looks promising, the only thing I would like you to change is the size of the letter G. I think it's a bit too large to be accurate.

I myself don't own a HTC TD, so I'll have to borrow one to try, but I'll hopefully be able to buy a Touch HD in January/February. Hopefully it'll work on the Touch HD as well!

Some more feedback is coming soon!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] m_ihab77:
Thank you very much
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Blazeitup123:
does anyone have the resources to test this with and actual g force meter? for comparison and such. may be intresting to see the data.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tbcc:
Yes, I would like to see that, too.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dan_t:
looking very good!

I have access to a G-Tech Pro that I can give some comparisons if you like? My works car is a "Smart Car" it auto shifts at high rpm so should give some reliable results.

One thing i'd like to see is speed trials not just from Zero... I have trouble getting off of the line sometimes, on other programs I have used I like a feature like 60-100mph -is that possible?

Cant wait for some 1/4 and HP calculators to go into this!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rodolf:
Thank you very much for this great app :)

I hope you will be able to supply all informations of the app dynolicious from iphone ;) (400m, HP,...)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
OK every one, my vacation starts day 14 and ends 31 so i will work heavy in the project and try to release the 1.0v.

Here are the next features.

Finish the new interface.

Choose Vertical or Horizontal mounting of the PDA.

Avoid Inclination of the Car affect measures.

Car inclination.

1/4mile and other performance testes HP torque etc.

Instant Gforce/Speed Graphic.

This part is easy, but i have to write the code all over again to fix some bugs, increase memory/cpu efficiency and reduce lag, so it may take a wile to realeae a new vertion. any way any update will go out so ppl can test it.

BTW i have a real Gforce meter, so i can confirm the results are accurate by 0.01G

Thx for all support and continue to feedback.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] WhiteCell:
awesome man....
