[APP]Water-level/spirit-level

[fxxxxxx]

Current version is SpiritLevel_0.9.1.zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=98776

Now I re-engineered the spirit level app a little bit.
It can now also show the raw X, Y and Z tilt data. Thus, you can easily see how much the g-sensor might need to be calibrated. Just check the option "Show Raw Sensor Data" from the menu.

Calibrating for this app ONLY available in SpiritLevel_SVC0.9.zip

works very well, thx!

[tomchap]

Great little App, nice one! :) The trick is using it on a surface that is flat and level to get an accurate reading.

Putting it on my desk at work:

x: 1 degree
y: 7 degree

x Tilt: -19
y Tilt: 117
z Tilt: -879

This keeps changing tho, which would indicate that the surface isnt very level.

Also looking at where the indicators are, it looks slightly off, but not enough to worry me thinks.

Congrats on the useful little app. :) Cheers!

Great app, but what if the g-sensor is not completely accurate?

as in this thread

Well, I could add an option that (somehow) calibrates the g-sensor, but only for this app. E.g. a menu entry "Calibrate" which, then asks you to put it on a perfect spot with 0° on X and Y axis and then maybe to 90 ° on X and Y axis. Maybe it will come - depends on my time. Maybe there is also a registry entry for this for the g-sensor.

GREAT app ;-)
And even better if a calibration option is added.
This would help alot of people :-)

this would be a great option. Currently the app displays x tilt: 270 when my phone is laying down on my desk. and it would be great if i could calibrate it from this position so that X an Y are back to 0

[fxxxxxx]

Ok, there is a new version in post #1. With that version you can calibrate the g-sensor, but ONLY for the spirit-level/water-level application. Currently it has no other effect. I am not sure if there is a way to "calibrate" the g-sensor globally.

[TML1504]

On the table in my office I get:

X: 3-4°
Y: 355-357°
X Tilt: -59
Y Tilt: -59
Z Tilt: 820

But the values are not steady, even if I do not move the device the numbers
are changing about twice a second.

Do others have the same behavior?

[fxxxxxx]

Yes, it is the same behavior here.
X: 2-3°
Y: 357-359°
X Tilt: ~ -39
Y Tilt: ~ -19
Z Tilt: ~ -938

Keep in mind, that 358 ° is only 2° from 0 ° away.

[ykat]

cool app :-)

I have the same experience regarding the switching values.

yop, thats clear!
at least i hope so...:D

if not i would have to return my degree in mechanical engineering ;)

[horstborsch]

me too ;)

sorry for OT

[kangyit]

nice software:)

[teddyen66]

Me 2.............

[fuorionda]

X: 353
Y: 8
X Tilt:96
Y Tilt: 136
Z Tilt: -899

:(

[R. DevilR]

X: 0
Y: 2
X Tilt: 0 (+/- 5)
Y Tilt: 37 (+/-2)
Z Tilt: -770 (+/-15)

Not so bad ^_^

And, as Diamond back cover isn't really flat, I tried watch results when the face of the Diamond was on my desk... hum... not transparent huhu. So I launched Resco Screen Capture (comes with Resco Photo Viewer) and take the screen after 10sec (I made 5 test)

Results :
X: 180 (only 1 time with 179)
Y: 179 (1° better :D)... and one time : 180°
X Tilt:0 (each time)
Y Tilt : ~8 (different values : 18, 18, 8, 8, 3)
Z Value : ~1200 (different values : 1206, 1206, 1201, 1190, 1172)

Calibration bug fixed, new version in post #1

[dejant_9]

yess! very good, now it's a real tool for my job. But i've question : the calibrating function is very important for the diamonds missaligned. But can you add an option for saving data after calibrating? it isn't possible to calibrate in any situation and it can be fun to have a single calibration a the first start of spirit-level... thanks by advance and sorry for my bad english :D

[Blob8me]

X: 352
Y: 8
X Tilt:97
Y Tilt: 134
Z Tilt: -850

Cool App. :)

[akito]

uncalibrated on the flat back (cover taken off)

x=0 / 1
y=0 / 1 changes between 0 / 1 about every second
x tilt = -39
y tilt = 10
z tilt = -908

not too bad neither i think

[2395]

Brilliant, thank you for you fantastic and hard work...very much appreciated.

Regards

[fxxxxxx]

The possibility to save the calibration for this app only will come soon. I will just save the data in a file, so that the registry wont get filled with this.

[heartwork]

x: 0°
y: 4°
x tilt: 0
y tilt: 76
z tilt: -908

confirming my teeter-experiences of a not quite even sensor. a global calibration-tool would be sooooo awesome!

hey..tried to load the program..soon as i tried opening it..im told it has encountered a problem and needs to close...wont go any further

[fxxxxxx]

But you are using a touch diamond? Do you have any problems playing teeter?

Changed the app, so that it should not crash anymore, but give a message, if there is a problem with reading the g-sensor data.

Download SpiritLevel_0.9.1.zip form post #1 and please post the values which should occur in a popup if an error occurs.

[fxxxxxx]

great work! can we donate??

You are welcome to, well, but I don't use paypal... any other options...?

[dejant_9]

I think you should create a paypal account. It's free and many users like me are interested for making a donation ;)

Did the new version work for you? If not, what numbers were shown in teh message box before closing the app?

I would be happy if you donate money here instead of donating to me http://www.unicefusa.org/donate/other-ways-to-give/paypal.html

[bairas]

Excellent program , no need to install anything , very light.
Now, if we could save the calibration it would be above excellent!!!
Many thanks and very nice of you the UNISEF donation

Look at this... http://www.pocketkai.net/asp/details.aspx?434 but it´s no Freeware.

x: 0°- 359°
y: 0°- 359°
x tilt: 1- -15
y tilt: 2- -6
z tilt: -1000- -1019

[ewx]

very nice app! but why didn't you use a pic of a water level like this:
http://www.feinewerkzeuge.de/L309618a.jpg
or this http://www.feinewerkzeuge.de/w312130.jpg
??

at least it must be only a pic of a bubble with its center in the intersection of the existing mesures...

maybe in further versions??

Thanks and greetings,

/edit: sorry, just saw bubblelevel... :-)

well, I stick to the 'keep it simple' principle and do not want to add any other graphics to it.

Work very well, thank You!!

Stupid Question...But how to Install this to My Diamond???

[Bicalho]

It's only an exe file. Extract it and transfer to you device. Vavigate to it with file explorer and click on it to run. If you want, you can use Resco file explorer or Total Commander to dreate a shortcut for the exe file in programs (start menu).

[IzzNoGood]

I would be happy if you donate money here instead of donating to me http://www.unicefusa.org/donate/other-ways-to-give/paypal.html

Very nice app. And the donation for unicef is on it´s way.

[sjoerd1985]

Everytime I try to download a .exe file, it doesn't rum on my HTC Diamond Touch... does anyone else have this problem or can anyone help me? Also I can't run Gmote because the phone says I have an older version of the .net compact framework, but I have the newest version...

[mahender]

hi there i have jusr downloaded this and moved the exe file with total commander.
is there an icon for this please?

[mahender]

bump. please.

[trix.1210]
