iPhone 16e keine Barometeranzeige

Leider funktioniert beim IPhone 16e die Barometeranzeige nicht mehr, die App stürzt nach dem Aufruf der Barometeranzeige sofort ab.

M11-M33

on the record data (csv file), what does m11, m12,m13 actually mean?

Help plzxzzz

Hello, these values represent the rotation matrix of the device, see this for more info: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coremotion/cmattitude/1616139-rotationmatrix Thanks for your support.

Works as adevertized

This was the only app I found to easy capture the telemetry data I was looking for. I tried several other app export data was challenging, logs were in accurate. I have two suggestion, the app needs some documentation, specifically what all the data headers are. When I airdrop the data and open I in excel and there are tons on columns some of which I don’t know what they are.

Bien

Efficace. Il manque un enregistrement dans ICloud et
qu’est-ce -ce que c’est 3D Touch?

Thank you. Not sure what you mean about iCloud? 3D Touch is available on iPhones from 6S to X, it measured the pressure you pressed on the screen.

Great App!!!

I’ve used several sensor apps on iPhone, and this is my favorite. I like the intuitive interface and the ability to record for long periods. I’ve used it in many applications, including precision analysis of aircraft motion during test flights.

Thanks for the great review, so glad to hear how useful Sensor Play is out there.

Good app

Good app, would like to know what units the accelerometer data is reported in? Is it metric?

Awesome app

I found this app by coincidence and immediately downloaded it. As a private pilot I intend to use it as a tracking/ manouever recording tool. First tests indicate excellent functionality and also extremely good usability.

If I had one wish to the developer:
A time stamp button would make it a lot easier to find a specific action in the data analysis. This would be extremely beneficial and not to difficult to implement.

A second wish would be axis values in the live view.

And audio recording...:-)

Thank you for the great feedback. Please get in touch via the app so we can discuss your ideas further.

Great app for recording and sharing multi-sensor data

Simple, easy to use. Automation is a nice feature. Would be great to have a trigger from the camera, is it possible/planned? Thanks!

Thanks for the great review! What did you have in mind for the camera automation trigger?

Good but not perfect.

Works great on my iPhone 11 except for the following that I have found so far.

I set it to record for 45,000 seconds (750 minutes or 12.5 hours) and it shuts off at 6:00 hours.

Also, I set the multi sensor recording to trigger on a g level and it only triggers on -g levels on the 2 g scale. I flew my iPhone 11 on a Blue Origin flight and found this out the hard way.

Very Good but not complete !!

1) CMCalibratedMagnetic Field x, y, z are always zero (0), on iPhone 8+ and my iPad.
2) Though CMMagnetometer values are useful for somethings, CLHeadingComponent Values x, y, z (micro Tesla), are better for calculating stuff, IMHO,

CLHeading:
I believe, Represents a vector pointing to magnetic North.

Please fix, and add CLHeading Magnetic Data 🤓😎.

The best sensor data recorder!

Great and easy to use app for engineers, students, researchers and anyone obsessed with motion analysis!
I wish it worked with the screen locked and it could record the real-time location. (Perhaps it does, but couldn't figure out how)

Thanks for the great review. Sensor Play will record in the background plus record your real time location, go to the Multi Sensor recorded option and select what you want to record. If you have any trouble get in touch with me directly. Cheers.

Too bad

Iphone X's barometer cannot measure the pressure data. I have been lost my money.

Hello, can you expand on what you mean and what’s going wrong as I see no issues recording pressure data on my iPhoneX. Contact me directly at philipbroder@gmail.com so I can help you resolve this.

No decibel

You should really add the decibel value!

Csv export seems buggy

Nice tool BUT the recording show in the life view different signals than in the csv recordings!

Sometimes gravity is incorporated and in the next time step it is not!

Otherwise it is a 3 -4 star rating

Response from developer

Hello, I see no issue with the csv export of accelerometer data, it always gives you both the accelXYZ fields which incorporate gravity, and the accelUserXYZ fields which remove the affect of gravity to isolate the User’s acceleration. The Accelerometer view gives you the option to remove G from the interactive display, either way both values are recorded. The file viewer always shows the accelUserXYZ data as this is generally more useful, however both types are exported on the csv. A test is to simply record a few seconds with the iPhone flat on a table, the csv export will show a clear and consistent difference in the Z axis If you still have issues please get in touch directly so I can help get to the bottom of this, please include files you feel are showing the problem you describe. Regards, Phil

Nice app

Can export csv from mobile,
With My iPhone se can use 100Hz sampling ^^.
I want to know how developer calculate angles =) adorable

App works fine - impressive!

Does a nice job of displaying output of all the phones sensors. Easy to use. Straightforward menus. No errors yet.

Sensors Play vs Sensors Pro

I’m still trying to figure out the difference between the two app. I brought this one before noticing the other app. I like the darker blue background of Sensors Pro, is there a way to match that in Sensors Play? I don’t know, not that I can tell.

If it was clarified the difference between the two apps (see above) and if custom background colors/gradients were an option, that would make this a 5-star app!

Très bien

App très intéressante, il manque cependant les dixièmes ou centièmes de secondes pour mieux analyser les événements

Ok, i found it, it was just a matter of column width in excel

Hi, glad to hear you like Sensor Play. The exported Timestamp in the csv file is actually down to 1/1000 of a second, e.g., "19-Apr-2018 12:15:45.123", please contact me directly with where you are not seeing this so we can resolve any issue. Thanks, Phil

Simple, pratique, efficace et performant 👍

(il manque peut-être des informations permettant de mieux caractériser la précision/qualité de la mesure GPS autre que le paramètre « confidence » oscillant entre « low » et « high »)

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. The 'Low/Med/High' Confidence display refers to the motion Activity detected; walking, running, etc, not the gps accuracy. The gps accuracy is shown by the +/- horizontal and vertical accuracy figures in meters. I can see how there could be confusion though so thanks for pointing it out.

Barometric Height Surveys

I am undertaking an engineering investigation of a water pipeline through heavy rainforest. Although I can get OK GPS location fix of the route, I had not been able to get reasonable elevation fix using GPS due to the terrain and tree cover. Sensor Play has preformed brilliantly using a 2 station relative barometric elevation setup with an estimated accuracy of about +/- 1m over the alignment. The alternative survey was cost prohibitive. Sensor Play is a serious piece of kit for serious data collection. Thank you Philip Broder. Best $8 I have ever spent!
