Does anyone know how to convert the accelerometer readings from g's to degrees?For example, if I want to use the x-axis readings and measure the tilt of the phone, flat would be 0g = 0 degrees and a 90 degree tilt to the right would be 1g (9.80665 m/sec^2).I can't come up with a formula for say 20 degrees or 45 degrees. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

removing the g factor from accelerometer readings. I am using SensorEventListener with onSensorChanged() method for getting Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER data. I need only pure acceleration values in all directions. So at any state if the device is stable (or in constant speed), it should give (0.0,0.0,0.0) roughly.
Currently, depending on its pitch and roll, it gives me variable output depending on the g forces acting on each axis. I hope there is some formula to remove this, as I also get orientation values (pitch and roll) from Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION listener. I had used some but didn't work.
I am developing a game. In which the user controls movement using the accelerometer. Sounds effects can also be enabled. However when laying the phone flat down and playing the game without the accelerometer gives nice 0,0,0 values. However when play WITH SOUNDS on, i get a buch of weird values: while the phone is NOT moving.
This is really a big bug that makes life hard for Game Developers. I tried to take an avarge of the last 5 values from the sensor.. but this is not enough.. The harder the sounds plays: the higher the weird sensor values. When using the headphones: almost no weird values. Seems that sounds interferes with the accelerometer sensor.
Reading the sensor API (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/ hardware/SensorManager.html) The section about ACCURACY speak about calibration:
"calibration with the environment is needed"
How do it calibrate?! Is this software calibration? Phone specific calibration??
I don't see any methods to calibrate.
Using the HTC Magic the compass often give me crazy values like if I was on the magnetic pole. I feel pretty scared and hide under a tinfoil hat just in case...
So any url, doc or explanation!
I've noticed that I get a slightly different reading from the compass depending on how I hold the phone. If I hold it vertically, its different than when I hold it horizontal (ie parallel to a table or floor). Does anyone know the most accurate way to hold the phone for the compass?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an application that will randomly point an arrow in a direction, and have that arrow maintain it's direction if the device is moved. All I want to do it get the magnetic field readings as degrees and I can do it from there. The problem I'm having is getting the magnetic field readings. I can't find any tutorials on it and the API demo on google's dev site uses deprecated code (figures, google's sample code is never n00b friendly).
At this point I've got this together but I don't know what I'm missing, all the examples I can find are using SensorListener which has onSensorChanged(int sensor, float[] values) but SensorEventListener does not support "float[] values"

When holding the phone in your right hand and it is connected to the charger and on the net the damn cord gets in the way. Am i missing something here? You have got to be kidding me if there is no way to change this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on adding a calibration feature to an accelerometer-driven game. For the calibration, I need a single value from the accelerometer. Should I register a listener, get the first value it gives me, and unregister it, or is there a better way to get just one value?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been playing with the data given by the accelerometer,trying to work out how I can gauge a shake from front to back or side to side. This all seems straightforward enough.But I'd love to know the direction of the shake. So, if the user is shaking backwards and forwards, I want to know if the device is moving away from the user, or back towards him/her. I can't find any way of telling this.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm tinkering around with trying to build a speedometer using only the accelerometer for use when I go snowboarding. I can read values from the accelerometer but I'm not sure how I would derive the velocity. I was thinking of taking the square root of (X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2) where X, Y, and Z are the values reported by the accelerometer in each axis but that only would only give me the amplitude of acceleration at any given instant. I could multiple that by the sampling frequency to get my instantaneous velocity but this approach fails when I'm moving at a constant speed.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wanted to get the frequency of accelerometer output. How many readings can I get per second? And to what precision do I get?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI know this question is definitely solved somewhere many times already, please enlighten me if you know of their existence,
Quick rundown:
I want to compute from a 3 axis accelerometer the gravity component on each of these 3 axes.
I have used 2 axes free body diagrams to work out the accelerometer's gravity component in the world X-Z, Y-Z and X-Y axes. But the solution seems slightly off, it's acceptable for extreme cases when only 1 accelerometer axis is exposed to gravity, but for a pitch and roll of both 45 degrees, the combined total magnitude is greater than gravity (obtained by Xa^2+Ya^2+Za^2=g^2; Xa, Ya and Za are accelerometer readings in its X, Y and Z axis).
More detail:
The device is a Nexus One, and have a magnetic field sensor for azimuth, pitch and roll in addition to the 3-axis accelerometer.In the world's axis (with Z in the same direction as gravity, and either X or Y points to the north pole, don't think this matters much?), I assumed my device has a pitch (P) on the Y-Z axis, and a roll (R) on the X-Z axis. With that I used simple trig to get:
Sin(R)=Ax/Gxz
Cos(R)=Az/Gxz
Tan(R)=Ax/Az
There is another set for pitch, P.Now I defined gravity to have 3 components in the world's axis, a Gxz that is measurable only in the X-Z axis, a Gyz for Y-Z, and a Gxy for X-Y axis.Gxz^2+Gyz^2+Gxy^2=2*G^2 the 2G is because gravity is effectively included twice in this definition. Oh and the X-Y axis produce something more exotic I'll explain if required later.From these equations I obtained a formula for Az, and removed the tan operations because I don't know how to handle tan90 calculations (it's infinity?).So my question is, anyone know whether I did this right/wrong or able to point me to the right direction?
I have a code snippet to detect accelerometer movements. It works some times by properly detecting slight movements, but sometimes it detects movements when I kept my device idle too. Are there any problems with built-in accelerometer detection on Android?
I use an HTC G-1 device. My code snippet is below. How do I resolve it so I can detect small device movements but not detect anything when the device is idle?

i dont have an android phone write now.But in my application i need to use accelerometer values..so i need an a simulator capable of it.
