pippyg vs SoundSim360

This tool gives you a convenient and reliable method to set the real-time clock, device ID, deployment latitude and longitude, and wake and sleep times for the PIPPYG bat recorder bat detector, in the field, using just your phone and the PIPPYG's onboard microphone. To use the app, set up the configuration you want in terms of Device ID and sleep/wake times, turn your phone volume up to between 1/4 and 1/3 full volume and place your phone's speaker about 4 - 6 inches your PIPPYG's microphone. Now press the Configure / Deploy. SInce the PIPPYG red LED responds to sound after power-up, it flash when your phone makes the "triple chirp" sound. If the LED flashes just when it is responding to the sound, the PIPPYG did not successfully decode the data packete encoded into the chirp, so you need to try again - try changing the phone volume (typically quieter is better), adjust and the distance from the microphone, or positioning the phone more carefully relaive to the PIPPYG - it helps if you point the phone's bottom speakers right at the microphone hole, from a few inches away. If the PIPPYG's red LED flashes 8 times in rapid succession, you have successfully programmed your device, and it will enter a wake/sleep cycle, recording bats (or birds) when it is awake. Note that this app works with both self-build PIPPYG units and with commercially-produced Apodemus PIPPYG and PIPPYG2 devices.

SoundSim360 brings professional-grade wind turbine noise simulation to your iPhone and iPad. Place turbines on a real map, run on-device propagation calculations, and within seconds see a geo-referenced noise heatmap. The computations are based on a condensed version of the full high-performance software package, adapted for quickly simulating dBA noise emissions from wind turbines on your device. Key features: · Place turbines and receiver points on an interactive map using GPS coordinates or any supported coordinate system · On-device inference using terrain elevation data (topography) and ground type data (forest, water, asphalt etc.) · Color-coded noise heatmap showing A-weighted sound pressure levels in 5 dBA bands · Noise levels at specific receiver point locations · Your location: GPS-based noise reading from the simulation result at your current position · Multiple independent simulation scenarios (create, rename, duplicate, import, and export) · Export results as PNG image and CSV data file · Share simulations as .soundsim files Subscription: The default app allows 2 turbines and a demo area to explore the app. Subscribing enables up to 30 turbines and unrestricted simulation area (global placement of turbines). SoundSim360 is developed by Pronumerix, the makers of the full SoundSim360 simulation software.
