[APP]Water-level/spirit-level

[fxxxxxx]

Current version is SpiritLevel_0.9.1.zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...chmentid=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!

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

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.

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?
