DishPointer (Satellite Finder) vs Universal Toolbox

DishPointer allows you to align your satellite dish with great precision in a minimum of time thanks to augmented reality. Adjusting a dish has always been complicated. but thanks to DishPointer this task becomes child's play. By following the 9 steps of the application, you will successfully install your dish in few minutes. No more need for a gyroscope to use augmented reality. We have combined the accelerometer and magnetometer data to compensate for the possible absence of the gyroscope. This allows the majority of smartphones to benefit from augmented reality. In DishPointer we have also integrated a module to calculate the magnetic declination and compensate the error between magnetic north and geographic north because we have noticed that the majority of smartphones do not integrate this declination. This help to display the right direction DishPointer is an application that lets you orient your dish or antenna to any satellite. Thanks to the sensors of your smartphone (Compass, accelerometer) this application displays the target satellite in space in order to better choose the location of your dish or antenna and to ensure the absence of any obstacle (wall, tree…). DishPointer also uses GPS to display your location on a map and then display the direction of the target satellite from your location. The compass accompanied by a beep allows you to orient your antenna or satellite dish by following the acceleration of the beeps and the arrow of the compass. The accelerometer is used to check that the support of your antenna or dish is vertical. The steps for adjusting the antenna or the dish: 1- choose your language 2- retrieving your GPS position automatically using GPS or manually by entering your latitude and longitude. 3- choose your target satellite to calculate the orientation parameters of the antenna or the satellite dish. 4- check that the support of your antenna or dish is vertical. 5- calculate the polarization and adjust the rotation of the LNB (the head of your antenna or satellite dish) 6- adjust the elevation 7- display of a line which indicates the orientation of the target satellite from your position on a Google Maps. 8- using the compass of your smartphone accompanied by a beep to help you find the right direction of the satellite (available in Pro version). 9- display the satellite in augmented reality thanks to your camera and make sure that there is no obstacle. This is used to validate the location of your antenna or dish (available in the Pro version). 10- refine the settings. For the app to work properly, DishPointer will need the compass and the accelerometer from your smartphone. Tips: - if your smartphone does not have a GPS, you can manually enter your latitude and longitude (you can get them on Google Maps). - the compass is only essential for the Pro version. - do not hesitate to recalibrate the compass and avoid approaching it too close to the arm of the parabola because it is sensitive to metallic elements. Try to place your smartphone where there is the least magnetic interference. The free version of DishPointer is enough for you to install your dish. It will calculate the orientation parameters and display the precise direction of the satellite on a Maps map. The Pro version offers you the use of augmented reality to see the exact position of satellites in space. It also provides you with an assistant based on the phone compass to display the exact direction of the target satellite. Contact: infosoftycontactfree@gmail.com

Universal Toolbox brings practical measurement, sensor, scanning and everyday calculation tools together in one organized app. MEASURE AND OBSERVE - Level & Angle shows live X/Y angles, inclination and a responsive bubble with explicit calibration. - Compass provides heading, bearing lock, coordinates and available altitude information. - Motion Sensors displays acceleration, rotation rate, gravity and device attitude. - Barometer shows atmospheric pressure and relative altitude when supported by the device. - Noise Meter displays raw audio levels and clearly labeled estimated or calibrated sound-pressure readings. - Screen Ruler offers metric and fractional-inch scales with per-device calibration. SCAN AND CREATE - Scan QR codes and common barcode formats using the camera. - Review detected content before opening a link or taking another action. - Generate, copy and share QR codes and Code 128 barcodes on your device. EVERYDAY UTILITIES - Control flashlight brightness and use Steady, Strobe or SOS patterns. - Convert length, mass, temperature, volume, area, speed, pressure, energy and time units. - Use a Decimal-based calculator with percentages, repeated operations and copy support. PRIVACY AND ACCESS Hardware readings and generated content are processed on your device. Camera, microphone, motion and location access are requested only when you open a tool that needs them. No account is required. Five core tools are available for free. Premium unlocks the remaining Premium tools and removes eligible advertising. Monthly and Annual plans renew automatically unless canceled, while Lifetime Premium is a one-time purchase. Measurements are general-purpose estimates and are not professional, medical, navigation, construction or safety-certified instruments.
