Guide Lines to make a Gforce Meter program

---

Hi every one im not an expert in programming (i know assembly, C) but i never tried to make a program for a Windows Mobile, only MicroControlers.
Im actually a Electronics Teacher, and i design a G force Meter whit GPS for my car showing XYZ G-Force and recording info in a SD card so i can pass to a laptop and analysing the data and posting the info in Google Earth.

Any way my diamond have everything a use in my project, acc, gps and VGA screen (i used 4 7seg displays :P)

So if any one could give me some guide line where to start programming (i have VB.net i don't know if its useful) i could make such program and post it.

Since you have a background in C, I suggest:

* Beginner Developer Learning Center
* Windows Mobile Developer Center, to help you get started on Windows Mobile
* Visual Studio and C#, probably a somewhat more familiar programming language, compared to VB.NET
* the .NET Compact Framework
* you contact Koushik Dutta, who shares the Visual Studio CE Setup DLL Template, HTC Touch Sensor SDK, Managed OpenGL ES wrapper, to unleash the Diamond's potential and maybe he'll give you more or better guidelines.

Wow, maybe you'r gonna be the guy who actually can make this idea(it's also measuring G-Forces in cars etc):

Thats execly what im tring to do...
The main code is already done.
Showing:
Acc/Brake and Curve GForce
Maximum values and total
Big Central Display (you can chose add/brake, curve or total) Gforce
Calibrate the program,whit out using the acc, so if you put the PDA in a "bad position" you can set the ZERO G. (but you should always have you acc calibrated AND the program)

dont mind the bar in the bottom is just to debug.

so PLZ SOME ONE help me finish my program so we can all start to measute GFORCE agains wall's and stuff :P

All i need is whant is explain in the first post

Some pic of the beta program.




as always
thx in advance.

Ive been looking for one of these for ages!!! good luck with it and i look forward to trying it out some time!!

WOW !!

Is there a way to get it and test it ?

is there way to offer some "coffee" for you? I'll feel myself better when I donate for such a work...

I have an idea... do you have ever seen MotoGP or Formula1 races??

They visual representation would be better!!!... like this

with a different coloured concentric circle at every measure

But you are not able to read it as fast as you might need it. It will take a moment to fix the dot with your eyes and another one to look on which mark it is.

I can do that, pretty easy, im making it skin friendly so u can out your one backgrand image and shose the graphical Gforce meter in the options

again i sill cant get help to use the SDK in VB.net
Lots of ppl maquing games and app, but no one replys to my PM or posts for help.
