Read full description

RTA Pro is a real time audio spektrum analyzer. It turns your iOS device into a powerful audio test system usually seen only in audio research laboratories and music studios. Such instruments are used to analyze the frequency spectrum of ambient noise, e.g. to be able to pinpoint frequencies which cause rumble in a room. Another use is the level setting setting of PA systems for concerts. Features: RTA Pro requires iOS11 or later and has been calibrated for the microphones of most iPhones. Custom calibration is also possible. The frequency range is 32Hz to 16kHz. Linear display, as well as weightings for measuring dB(A) and dB(C) is provided. Apart from 1/3 Octave Bands and Octave Bands, RTA Pro also features the display of a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The speed is adjustable to impulse, 128ms and 1 second.

About

Float Comply

Read full description

Float Comply helps riders of user-owned VESC based single motor balancing boards keep motor power and top speed within local limits while preserving full performance for private-property use. Many countries treat single motor balancing boards as their own vehicle category, typically capped at 250 W of motor power and 15 to 25 km/h top speed. Out of the box, compatible VESC based controller firmware may boot at full power and fail an unloaded-wheel speed check even if you never exceed the limit while riding. Float Comply fixes that with three simple buttons: • COMPLY writes a compliant profile to your board's flash memory. From then on, every power-on boots into compliance mode. • UNLEASH temporarily restores your captured full-power profile in RAM only, until the next power-off. Use this on private property, a private track, or wherever your local rules permit. Turn the board off and the compliance defaults are loaded again automatically. • RESTORE saves full-power speed, power and supported tiltback settings permanently. Your current battery settings, motor calibration and unrelated ride settings stay unchanged. WHY THIS MATTERS Speed checks in many cities measure top speed unloaded. A board running full-power controller settings can fail that test even if the rider never exceeds the legal limit on the road. Float Comply makes the board start compliant by default. WHAT'S BUNDLED • A 250-country dataset of legal limits with source links, auto-detected from your IP and device locale, with a manual picker for travel. • A .fltc backup / restore mechanism so you never lose your captured full-power profile when you change phones. • A sanity check on first connect that refuses to capture an already-Comply'd board as "stock". • Known-board tracking so the app warns you before connecting to someone else's nearby board. FREE Float Comply is free. Comply, Unleash, Restore, Backup, .fltc import, Settings, and the country picker are available without a purchase — your captured stock profile is yours forever. COMPATIBILITY Float Comply is designed for user-owned VESC based single motor balancing boards with Bluetooth access. It is not intended for e-skateboards, multi-motor VESC builds, or other VESC based vehicles. It does not include third-party firmware, package files, or hardware content. DISCLAIMER Float Comply changes controller motor-limit settings and, where supported, may change package tiltback settings to make Comply mode safer. Use it at your own risk. Wrong settings, firmware changes, package-layout changes, hardware faults, or future controller specification changes can interfere with safe board behaviour. Always test changes carefully with the wheel unloaded before riding. Operating an unregistered self-balancing PEV on public roads may be illegal in your jurisdiction even at compliant power and speed levels — many countries also require type approval, registration, insurance, helmets, or limit ridership to specific paths. Float Comply does not authorise any particular use. Confirm with your local authority before riding, and ride responsibly.
