What about a "GSen - DPAD controller" where you can controle the Left / Right / Up / Down directions by tilting the Diamond.

I am especially thinking about games : for example, it's a big pain in the *ss to control mario kart (in PocketSnes) with the diamond DPAD, although it might be easy and fun to turn with the Gsen !!!

This software could be controlled as the SKKV GSen App where you can select which software use it or not !

what do you think ?

I precise it is just an "idea" because I have no dev skills on PPC

i don't get it .. What should that use the g-sensor for? But its nice anyway.. :p

[sama]

updated... I think!


I have an idea...


a plane noise. so as you move the phone around in the air, starts to make plane noises. like you would try to spoon feed a kid. as you dip, you get the eyyooooooo, and on the way up it goes, maaaaaaa, and when you shake it, it shoots: ratatatatat :)

[sama]

another idea:

dice! you shake it, and the dice shakes on the screen. nice and easy!

[sama]

sorry, I'm having a flurry of ideas today!

how about powerball? you know, if you get the spin right, you increase the rpm sorta thing.

I'm not sure that'll be so good for the g sensor, as all the mecrury (is that how it works?) inside would probably disintegrate into small bubbles!

[sama]

It's a fluid on your screen and if you flip the device, the fluid follows the movement. Would be fun with a fish in it or something :D

Hi danthekilla, just tried your stuff, it is working properly on my Diamond with dutty's v1, the graphics could do with sprucing up a bit but a cool start. Looking forward to what you come up with next, how about a snowstorm? and thanks for your work.

its just a video not a real fluid simulation they just remember the movements thats why if you look at the 5 different videos on youtube they all do the exact same motion

[dscemama]

Diamond TV is also compatible with G Sensor:
http://www.diamondtv.fr

[emre_aachen]

it was so nice Danthekilla... The only problem (or your taste) was that there are different gravititions on diffeent balls :) it takes different times to reach ball to the other edge while they are stainary standing on one edge...

Furthermore I think I could help you in writing diff. eqns for the mass spring behaviour of such things if ofcourse you need...

I wish you keep coding ;) The only thing I am looking for (i cannot write codes :( ) is one of those car performance meters that iphone has already had... 0-100km, G-meter, whatever...

[le_castor_fou]

hi,

first i'm sorry for my poor english.

i think about one thing : if everyone create one app used gsensor it's create a lot of bug or conflicts.

the best way is to create one app with plugins :

in this app we have list of all move possible like shake slow, shake fast, face down...

the final user associated one move to a plugin.

i'm not a developer yet, please anyon can create this ? i'm sure it's a good thing.

[Koush]

Hi Sama, can you change the G-Sensor SDK to the following link:

[logger]

Here's my very original idea for a G Sensor application. Dunno why no one has mentioned it earlier. Maybe it is not possible, but on the other hand...

How about a ....wait for it.... a G Sensor.

What I mean by this is an application that displays G forces, not angles in degrees or bubble tilt. I just mean plain old G Force.

Was flying along in my plane today and fiddling swith the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) and from it I can dynamically read
VRTG - vertical G
LATG - Lateral G
LONG - Longitudinal G

I read that the KXSD9 "Kionix low-g accelerometers can be used to achieve precise measurements of inclination (tilt). Motion sensing and drop-detection applications can be readily implemented with Kionix accelerometers featuring built-in algorithms and interrupt outputs."

So is it possible to make a Black Box style G force recorder application. I have no idea if the accelerometer chip is always on and measuring in the Diamond. Assuming it was or could be made to be this is what I envisage:

The applications would run in a continuous loop recording the dynamic G Forces at say 1 sec intervals meausered by the chip, say for the last 1 hour. Time period could be limited by how much info needed to be stored.

User could then using some form of GUI see a graph of g forces experienced on the three axis. Maybe it could even hide readings below a threshold and only show spikes.

The Black Box application would have to have an Orange icon of course cos everyone knows a Black Box is not Black.

Now how/why on earth might this be useful?
Well it could form as rudimentary crash recorder for use on your person. Say you stacked your car, you could take a look at it (when you regained consciousness) to see how hard you hit :eek:
Flying my plane I could have a competition with my Co Pilot to see who could do the smoothest landing :cool: You get the drift.

If it was a goer it might even have safety or insurance type uses, who knows.

What do you reckon. Is this do able with this hardware? Seeing it was my idea we could even call it "Black Box G Logger" :D :D

[robinVerdegaal]

PSYCHO!

Stab the air with your Diamond like you're stabbing the shower curtain
in Psycho, and activate the scene's signature violin soundeffects.

squeek! squeek! squeek! squeek! :eek:

[penguin]

lunarTilt v.09 update is now posted here with levels, landing pad and improved installer (you can now also install to Internal Storage)

Find it here: http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=6500.0

[RedUser]

If someone has made the game similar to these for GSensor, it would be excellent. :)

[Trident]

one more idea to the mix...

how about movement sensor alarm soft? if the phone moves, it starts to "scream" like a bat out of hell :p
This might also be a nice "security" feature.
When the phone moves after a predetermined amount of non-movement, you get 5 seconds to enter a code or the device sounds an alarm.
Could call this version "G-Lock".

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=104973&d=1218240426


How about a Diamond version of Etch-a-Sketch :)

Admitedly the only use for the G Sensor would be when you want to clear the screen by shaking the phone, just like in the original.

I guess the dials would have to work something like this:

[Up - Down] would be on the left button graphic.
(finger sweeping up repeatedly over the button would create a vertical line heading to the top of the screen etc etc..)

[Left - Right] on the right button

Holding down on both areas would create the diagonal (depending on the combination) .....
or someone could just create bluetooth etch-a-sketch dials ...lol..
Could be re-used to tune the appalling radio in or maybe be a retro volume dial....... "I`ll get me coat" :p :)

[sama]

nice idea!

it looks like the need for a unified architecture for the g-sensor is in order. a library that can detect:

shake, tilt, roll, etc, and raise events which other programs can hook on to, would mean one implementation for each movement would be enhanced, rather than lots of different people trying to create the code for a shake.

someone already mentioned this in this post here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2471007&postcount=57)

First attempt at using the Diamond sensor, and since I don't have a device my self, someone else will have to test it.

It's a formless app that logs the X/Y/Z data and time every second. Data is stored as a file specified by HKCU\\Software\\l3v5y\\BlackBoxGLogger under the string value "Path" (default is \BBGL.csv) in the CSV format (datetime,X,Y,Z).

The file can be opened in excel or similar and a graph can be produced from that.

Also, I've failed to get the icon! If someone feels like making one, drop me a PM!

Things I'm working on:
Customisable time between checks
UI
Graphing

EDIT:
Needs .NET CF 2.0 or above!

[Koush]

nice idea!

it looks like the need for a unified architecture for the g-sensor is in order. a library that can detect:

shake, tilt, roll, etc, and raise events which other programs can hook on to, would mean one implementation for each movement would be enhanced, rather than lots of different people trying to create the code for a shake.

someone already mentioned this in this post here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2471007&postcount=57)

Hi, I'm the developer of the Managed Sensors library for the HTC Diamond. I wrote something like this basically for Klaxon. I'll add it to the Sensors project that everyone uses sometime.

Please PM me a list of events you would like to be accessible via the the API. So far I have:
Shake Fast
Shake Slow
Flip


Keep in that a lot of these events are similar enough that the user can trigger multiple events with one action. Like, flipping the phone over very fast can cause the flip event and the shake event to fire.

I m verry sorry if someone already write about that, I did try the search engine but I did n t find anything.
Dear lord developers, why not create an application to emulate a wiimote (wii remote controler) in order to play wii with the diamond.

Nicely Done. Seems to be doing exactly what you said it should.
Couple of quick observations. The File BBGL.csv is growing at 0.1k a second. Think it will grow to about 10mb a day very roughly. Can open in excel on the PC not probs. Tried changing the extention to .xls but Excel Mobile cant open it. No big deal. Graphs just fine in Excel on PC.

Was stunned this morning to see someone actually went and made the app. I thought the lack of responeses meant no one would be interested.

Obviously the app is doing what it intended. It is recording and logging the G to a file on the diamond. Now of course there is plenty of room for an interface.

More later - Very well done.

Actually l3v5y, on further investigation - It looks like your app is actually logging the TILT angle of the device and not the G FORCE or acceleration. I don't even know if the G sensor can be made to output G. but given that it is called a G Sensor I thought this would be possible. Does anyone else around here know? Logging the G is what we are after and not the TILT.

Could you send me a log file so I can have a look? I don't actually have a Diamond, so I can't test it myself!

In theory, my app should poll the sensor for the X/Y/Z acceleration.

[Drpa]

Guys please can you place here all your register keys and values in HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\GSensor\ ? Because When I tried calibration my sensor isnt working now when I replace values. Thank you !

Here you go. Actually I was talking out of my backside as usual. It is catching the spikes after all. Intentionally dropped my diamond on all six faces and noted the time of each event. Spikes do show up except in one case when perhaps the spike occurred in between the polling interval. What was confusing me was the static readings show readings that are not 0 or 1G but approx 9.5 units either + or - on one axis which which would be gravity.

Here are a couple of hightlights, but there is about 15 minutes worth in the csv file. Gaps are when the phone powes itself off.

0.0196 -0.0686 -9.7314 Sitting static screen face up
-6.0858 11.6914 -25.2742 Drop on Back with screen face up

The difference between -25.2742 and -9.7314 of about 15.5 whatevers represents the deceleration. Is that Gs do you reckon?


-0.4606 -0.3724 9.506 Sitting static screen face Down
-2.6558 -0.735 5.3998 Drop on Screen but not as hard

I have gone through an commented the CSV file with known events or orientation when static. Will make a longer log file tomorrow when driving in my car.

[DanGlee]

Just thought of another idea for the sensor apps... unless its already been put here...

You remember those pens from the 80's with the water in them and when you turned them over the woman's (or mans!) clothes came off.... you see where I'm going with this :)

Fun little app to show the lads in the pub :D

The numbers are the acceleration (in meters per second squared). So, if the sensor is correctly calibrated, you should get a downward acceleration of 9.8, and nothing else.

The CSV file increases in size each time a new line is written. I've got a version that should allow an alteration of how often the polling takes place.

Here are two images that demonstrate the forces:

Just had a thought for app development!

Because all the data pulled from the Diamonds sensor has to go through the home build Sensor SDK, would it be possible to calibrate this data, rather than having to delve into the way HTC have done it?

[Koush]

Yes. It seems that everyone is using my Sensor API anyways, so I could write a tool that calibrates the output from my API. I'll do that this weekend.

The problem is rather that JME does not allow JNI code as far as I know and the standard JVM on the Diamond can not access the Sensor. Does anybody know how I could implement the Sensor SDk for Java ? I have a fair knowledge about JNI and Java on other platforms, but not on WM.

Alternative might be to have a "COMx" interface for the Sensor, which allows your Java program to read the data, just like it would read the GPS data. Might be something I could dive in a bit later or it might give ideas to other people ?

BTW, do you have the sources for Marble Madness ? If not, porting it might not be as easy as 1-2-3

[deblix]

I like to suggest a stopwatch start en stop while shaken

[JayZee2]

playing Tetris using the G-Sensor - would give a thrilling new dimension to this classic game. Just imagine what people would think seeing you from far while you play Tetris by shaking your Diamond to all directions ... :D

another idea: aquarium, somehow related to the beer application. But imagine what the various sea animals would do when you start to shake your Diamond :D
and when you turn it - you generate waterfalls, speed varies on angle
or instead of aquarium simulate a swimming pool with people in it - then let them having fun by shaking and turning the Diamond ... diving, taking a header, even cannonballs would be fun :D

I was reading an article about some cool nokia n95 applications. For example:
- Hi-n-Bye: allows you to answer to a phone call bringing the phone to the ear, to activate and to disaactivate the loud speaker just removing the phone from your ear, to put a call in wait and to reactivate it shaking the phone and to finish a call turning upside-down the phone;
- Rock'n'Scroll: has the same functions of vueflo (like on my Advantage).

I found those to be the coolest app for n95. Why not on Diamond?

THX in advance... ;)

[DJGurth]

I think that this app has great potential. I in do not know how to build or develop these things so please dont shout for the ideas i have.

This program would be great if it worked for all keypads within the diamonds system, ie numberpad, phone pad, compact keyboard etc.

It would be even better if you could use the diamonds vibration, as it does in tweeter the game.

For example, if i press 1 it vibrates the top left of the phone, 3 the top right, 4 just the left side, 5 the whole phone and so on.

by using the vibration in this way it would give the phone a great tactile like sensation and you would know what button you was pressing by the vibration.

Is this possible, and is it likely to be developed in the future, i for one would love to see this work.

Thanks

Here's my very original idea for a G Sensor application. Dunno why no one has mentioned it earlier. Maybe it is not possible, but on the other hand...

How about a ....wait for it.... a G Sensor.

What I mean by this is an application that displays G forces, not angles in degrees or bubble tilt. I just mean plain old G Force.

Was flying along in my plane today and fiddling swith the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) and from it I can dynamically read
VRTG - vertical G
LATG - Lateral G
LONG - Longitudinal G

I read that the KXSD9 "Kionix low-g accelerometers can be used to achieve precise measurements of inclination (tilt). Motion sensing and drop-detection applications can be readily implemented with Kionix accelerometers featuring built-in algorithms and interrupt outputs."

So is it possible to make a Black Box style G force recorder application. I have no idea if the accelerometer chip is always on and measuring in the Diamond. Assuming it was or could be made to be this is what I envisage:

The applications would run in a continuous loop recording the dynamic G Forces at say 1 sec intervals meausered by the chip, say for the last 1 hour. Time period could be limited by how much info needed to be stored.

User could then using some form of GUI see a graph of g forces experienced on the three axis. Maybe it could even hide readings below a threshold and only show spikes.

The Black Box application would have to have an Orange icon of course cos everyone knows a Black Box is not Black.

Now how/why on earth might this be useful?
Well it could form as rudimentary crash recorder for use on your person. Say you stacked your car, you could take a look at it (when you regained consciousness) to see how hard you hit :eek:
Flying my plane I could have a competition with my Co Pilot to see who could do the smoothest landing :cool: You get the drift.

If it was a goer it might even have safety or insurance type uses, who knows.

What do you reckon. Is this do able with this hardware? Seeing it was my idea we could even call it "Black Box G Logger" :D :D

About the Logging my program duz that.
it passes the information to a text file white time every 200ms so its more than enof for you. If you need a more costume program just give me a call on that thread.

i don´t know anybody before had this idea, but what you think about an g-app that during a call automatical switch the speaker on if you lay the phone in your hand or on a table? i think it can be useful if you wanna write something down or do something else you don´t have to search for the speaker button before.

p.s.: sorry for my crappy english :D
I think that sounds like a usable app.:)

IDEA: Protractor app, put your diamond on its side on something (bit of wood etc) and the display will show the angle, like with Diamond Beer, but with a angle ;)

[pizzabomber]

Hallo,

is it possible to implement an counter for the footsteps while walking or jogging?

The program has to recognize the step you make, by sensing an Vibration, while the diamond is in the pocket of the pants. This will be very hard to implement.

Analog counter for footsteps you can buy have a kind of weight inside, which hast space to move up and down. So you can hear it by shaking it. And on the top and on the bottom there must be a sensor, detecting contact. This way the counter detects footsteps.

The diamond counter could detect following:
- minimal move upwards
- minimal move downwards
- vibration by making the step and change the foot

Sorry for my baaaad English, but i gave my best :p
...hope everybody knows what i mean...


To make this perfect the app needs an minimize mode, so you can hear MP3s at your favorite player while making sports and can easily control the number of steps already walked, by hotkey or icon at topbar. And in addition to that the program could calculate the amount of calorie you needed. Whatch out, that you finish the todays amount of steps, standing on your training plan, ...

I'm sure there are many other nice informations of interest.

Could someone if say this is possible and could be implemented reliable?

Regards,
Pizzabomber

Hi, I'm the developer of the Managed Sensors library for the HTC Diamond. I wrote something like this basically for Klaxon. I'll add it to the Sensors project that everyone uses sometime.

Please PM me a list of events you would like to be accessible via the the API. So far I have:
Shake Fast
Shake Slow
Flip


Keep in that a lot of these events are similar enough that the user can trigger multiple events with one action. Like, flipping the phone over very fast can cause the flip event and the shake event to fire.

I hope I haven't missed it somewhere in the posts but I did try searching and couldn't find anything further on this... Has this unified architecture been created yet for the g-sensor?

I'm looking at writing a couple of apps and I'm trying to define my own movement / action library based on the results from the g-sensor sdk (thanks Koush!!) but I don't want to go off on my own and duplicate work already done.

My idea so far is to create a movement recorder that will assign each movement performed by the phone user a unique signature (and include a little bit of variance for unrepeatability of the exact same movement over and over again) and then store this in a config file on the phone. The app(s) can then use this to determine what action is being performed. This will also allow people to record there own idea of a left or right shake...

Not sure if this will work... any other ideas?

I think sensor security will be very cool software!

Just thought of another idea for the sensor apps... unless its already been put here...

You remember those pens from the 80's with the water in them and when you turned them over the woman's (or mans!) clothes came off.... you see where I'm going with this :)

Fun little app to show the lads in the pub :D

If somebody makes one, please pick a hot woman!

a mod has to eather give this thread to someone else or take charge of it himself or we have to make a new thread or sumthing!!

[sweanders]

First attempt at using the Diamond sensor, and since I don't have a device my self, someone else will have to test it.

It's a formless app that logs the X/Y/Z data and time every second. Data is stored as a file specified by HKCU\\Software\\l3v5y\\BlackBoxGLogger under the string value "Path" (default is \BBGL.csv) in the CSV format (datetime,X,Y,Z).

The file can be opened in excel or similar and a graph can be produced from that.

Also, I've failed to get the icon! If someone feels like making one, drop me a PM!

Things I'm working on:
Customisable time between checks
UI
Graphing

EDIT:
Needs .NET CF 2.0 or above!

Installed it and ran it, don't get a GUI which I expected but I cannot figure out how to stop it or where to find the csv. Could you advise with these instructions to a HTC newbie? :)

[gr8khanh]

Nice looking apps. Just got my Diamond last week and for the life of me could not find a lot of apps...Bingo! I've don't downloaded a couple for test runs but for the life of me i am unable to install. The file ext is not what i need for install on the diamond. Before install it says .cab but when i unzip nothing. Can someone point me in the right direction and/or tell me what I'm doing wrong?

thanks

Just put the .cab file in the internal memory on your device and then kick on it and it will self exstract and install the program. Follow the on-screen instructions and choose to install on internal an your god to go!:)

I have updated the Managed GSensor SDK I wrote a while ago to support the Samsung Omnia GSensor. If you have applications that are written to use the Diamond GSensor, please download the new version of the SDK, make some small changes, and recompile. And you'll be able to deliver your applications to all the Samsung Omnia users!

The Cruise does not have a G-Sensor. Only the Diamodn, Raphael and some yet to be released devices have G-Sensors.

what about this article (http://htc-touch-cruise-p3650.handster.com/software.php?id=2901&for=HTC+Touch+Cruise+P3650)?

Ha, probably someone made some error when updating their web shop.
You can check with KaiSoft to see that there is no such thing for Touch Cruise (nor can it be such a thing for TC).

i know that cruise doesn't have accelr., and that's why i was surprised.

I would like to do the following things:

A little app that run silently in background monitor the X-axis and Y-axis every 1 second. If the phone orientation is face up, nothing is done. If not, able call a command or change a registry value.

A little app that run silently in background monitor light sensor every 1 second. If the light doesn't change. If the light sensor signal is changing rapidly (e.g. using hand to block, unlock the light sensor several times), able call a command or change a registry value.

Is such app exist? It would be very useful as these two apps can be used as screen toggle applications.

Thanks a lot! :)
