[idea] seismograph application

---

Today I have seen a seismographs application in iphone... A needle was continously writing the output coming from the acclerometer like those richter measuring seismographs.

And it was quite sensitive. Even if somebody walk in the room, you can see the changes in the seismographs. I really wanted to be able to write some code for wm but i can't... So maybe one of our you guys can be inspired by this and can write something similiar for this... I really like to play with these g-sensor programs...

I could not grab enough attention for the european users... So I try my chance one more time in the time zone where american users are mostly active...

A seismograph application... I don't think that it's that difficult... the code does even not to suppress the disturbance... Because actually it should be measuring the disturbance continuously...

I've also heard that it is a free app. for iphone... I don't know maybe the code of that program is somewhere available...

Cheers,

I could try making that app but could you post the link for the iphone version plz? out puting the sensors are kite easy for me atm but i don't imagine the relation bethen ms^2 and Mercalli scale. so yes the needle will will shake but i don't know what to put in the tag's
ps im European :P

Ikari... You are my favorite coder... After your accelerometer, responding to this has proven it one more time...

Ok so here some youtube links to see how it looks like...

Basically you don't need to think about the unit conversion or any other... I mean as you see on iphone, it's something ver simple... Not scientific... No units... Just a scale on the "rolling paper"... Let's say the maximum disturbance is the limit of the paper and it's 3 times of gravity... A simliar UI would be really nice... Maybe you can also think of a logarithmic scale (which is the case for richter scale) then you can even show 6 G on the paper... it will not take so much place for the increasing gravity (i don't know what is the maximum output you can measure with the sensor inside)

It would be really nice to see such a thing...

P.S.

You can also find some explanation and screenshots of the program from the following link:

If you have an apple account, you can also download the iphone version for free!!

that's a cool idea...+1 from me

me too... :)

+1

it's really a good and funny idea

DOn't make the mistake of making it simple, it will only be a laughing matter for the fanboys at work if you know what I mean. My point is, if you're going to copy, why not improve the idea right?
Btw, great job on the accelerometer Ikari, you're the man!
