edicer2 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) Hey guys i was just on my droid looking for apps and came across one that was made by CNTC and it is a free inclinometer app that can be used on the droid and other android phones. It looks very similar to the inclinometers you buys buy off ebay except it has a picture of a xterra instead of the door pathy. It seemed to work fairly well. I might have to go out and get the window mount now :-) Its called "CNTC Inclinometer" just look for it in the market. http://www.androlib.com/android.application.bc-inclineoxterra-iEAj.aspx Edited April 6, 2010 by edicer2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I believe there was one for the Iphone also. It was in a thread about 6 months ago and the general concensus was that it wasn't like the real thing. I personally wonder how the hell it works, I can't imagine the phones have gimble mounted gyroscopes... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how accurate it would be as they are designed to measure sudden or drastic changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Yeah, they are like Wii or PS3 (six axis) controllers and can detect their orientation as well as movement in different directions. Just like "real", ie analog ones, they are only "accurate" when completely stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, ok, I didn't know that. I use accelerometers at work regularly, but I never considered that they would put them in phones!! Damn, the whole phone scene is getting wierd...
