Android detect phone lifting action
Solved the issue. All I wanted to do was to check for the "Y" value stated in the question and check if the value was greater than 1.0. Note that, if the phone is kept in vertical position the Y is always around 9.8 but in such cases you can...
Alert Dialog shows multiple times On device shake Android
android,accelerometer,android-alertdialog
That's natural to be shown multiple times, to control it use a boolean and set it to false for initialize and when the dialog is shown set it to true and when it is dismissed set it to false again. As for controlling every time you want to show the...
Accelerometer's equations
The simple (i.e. not rigorous and will have real physicists turning in their graves) is that the usual convention is that if the Z acceleration is negative the device is accelerating downwards i.e. in this case towards the centre of the earth. Since it is staying still in a gravitational...
Followed tutorial on creating a shake listener, having trouble using it
You don't call Listeners. They call you. Move: while (true) { if (shake) textView.setText(test[RandomNumber]); // this line } to: @Override public void onShake(int count) { /* * HERE */ handleShakeEvent(count); } Should achieve what you're aiming for....
How is it possible that Google Fit app measures number of steps all the time without draining battery?
android,gps,accelerometer,android-sensors,google-fit
Thanks for asking this question! Battery is one of our top most concerns and we work hard to optimize Google Fit's battery usage and provide a magical experience. Google Fit uses a mix of sensors(Accelerometer, Step counter, Significant Motion counter), Machine Learning and heuristics to get the data right. Our...

Accelerometer data: How to interpret? Sparkfun ADXL335 with Arduino
I wrote a blog post about this device on an Arduino that should answer your questions. http://chrisheydrick.com/2015/02/05/adxl335-accelerometer-on-an-arduino/ In short, the values you're seeing depend on the power delivered to the ADXl335. The sensitivity (mV/g) is stated to be ratiometric in the data sheet, and the example given is that when...
Integrating Android Accelerometer to Find Velocity and Position
SensorEvent has a timestamp field, which is the time in nanoseconds. Use this instead of System.currentTimeMillis(). Here's an example from the documentation: private static final float NS2S = 1.0f / 1000000000.0f; private float timestamp; public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) { // This timestep's delta rotation to be multiplied by the current...

how to use accelerometer sensor to detect and match two toy cars' collision
I will post an answer because there are at least some interesting elements to your question that are close to appropriate for StackOverflow. detect bumps, so I need to distinguish the car bumping into something from being started or some other situations, such as jolts on the road. A collision...
Accuracy problems using accelerometer android
You can check the event timestamp to determine if it's an already measured value, but I would suggest that you implement a kind of smoothing for example a rolling average over the last 3-5 values. That makes your values a lot smoother and better to handle. Here is an example...

android,rotation,accelerometer,gyroscope,motion-detection
There are a few examples and tutorials on the web, but be careful. Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION became deprecated. You need to calculate rotations by listening to these two sensors Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER and Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD. The tricky part after registering to receive notifications from these sensors, is to figure out how to handle the data...
Reducing Noise in iPad Accelerometer

The class you are working with is Windows.Devices.Sensors.Accelerometer, this does not contain a Stop, you are probably looking at the Microsoft.Devices.Sensors.Accelerometer documentation (which does include a Stop method) Instead of Stop just unregister from the Event if(txtX.Text==" .24"){ accelerometer.ReadingChanged -= YourUpdateFunction; MainPage.Score++; this.frame.Navigate(typeof(Final_Score)); } BTW, it is usually a good...
Detect vibration with Android accelerometer
android,accelerometer,sensor,detect,vibration
Real answer- you're going to need to study DSP to get good results. This is a non-trivial problem. Quick overview- when a vibration occurs, you're going to see a sinusoidal attenuating wave pattern (the attenuating signal after the main vibration is called "ringing" and is a bad thing for us-...
Formatting plotline for large dataset
Make up data: d <- data.frame(millis=1:1e6,y=rnorm(1e6)) d$c <- rep(1:1e5,length.out=nrow(d)) This is easy to write but takes a long time to render. library(ggplot2) ggplot(d,aes(x=millis,y=y))+facet_grid(c~.)+geom_line() Or (also slow) library(lattice) xyplot(y~millis|c,data=d,layout=c(10,1)) (To be honest I gave up waiting for either of the above to finish.)

Android: How to draw objects onto the screen based on GPS and Gyroscope
android,gps,accelerometer,augmented-reality
If you want to understand the general problem, think of it as two steps: combine all those sensor values to tell you where the camera is (GPS), where it is looking (orientation derived from accelerometers and compass: Android should already have something to combine these into one 3D orientation value),...
Reading Accelerometer data in Android
Dear god do NOT use sleep to delay accelerometer readings. That won't actually delay readings, it will just make you react to them slower- the system will still be making readings at the same rate and in fact queue them up. If you want less frequent readings, specify so when...

I found the rotation of the device using Compass, created locationManager /** * Location manager class instance */ @property (strong, nonatomic) CLLocationManager *locationManager; Then initializing it - (void) initLocationManager { self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init]; self.locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest; self.locationManager.headingFilter = 0.1; self.locationManager.delegate = self; [self.locationManager startUpdatingHeading]; } And implementing the...
How do you save data that is being produced in a handler?
ios,swift,accelerometer,core-motion
The main thing to be wary of is that these events can come in more quickly than the main thread can process them. As the documentation says: Because the processed events might arrive at a high rate, using the main operation queue is not recommended. Hence, you should your own...
JavaScript addEventListener delay
javascript,accelerometer,addeventlistener
It's called "function debouncing". Basically, you execute your stuff only once in a certain amount of time. A simple implementation would be: var lastExecution; addEventListener("deviceorientation", function (event) { var now = Date.now(); if (now - lastExecution < 17) return; // ~60Hz lastExecution = now; ... }, false); (Yes, lastExecution is...

How do i calculate the orientation/direction and the velocity of a Sun Spot?
java,embedded,accelerometer,physics
Like @John Story stated the best way to handle this is by making an average. Sun spots accelarometers are very unstable and aren't suited for precise velocity prevision. Anyway this is the best code i could make double v=0; double anterior=0; while (true) { double time=System.currentTimeMillis()+200; double currentTime=System.currentTimeMillis(); double offset=0;...
How to handle live data of Accelerometer in android?

One of the solution to address this problem is keeping a threshold for the change in the sensor values. If the change in deltaX, deltaY, deltaZ are greater then you can start the AsyncTask else dont. Since u are not keeping any threshold values the number of threads u create...
Obtain g-force from accelerometer readings
It is pretty easy. You'll want to setup a UILabel in Interface Builder and you'll see a property something like this: @property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *myLabel; Right after your NSLog statement you'll want to insert this code: self.myLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"x=%f, y=%f, z=%f", accelerometerData.acceleration.x,accelerometerData.acceleration.y,accelerometerData.acceleration.z]; Of course you may want...

Find the sign of the angles from an accelerometer
c#,math,vector,accelerometer,angle
I think you are confused about what you are actually calculating here. Make sure you are aware that you are simply calculating the angle by using the definition of cosinus: cos(accelAngleN*2*Math.Pi/360) = accelForceN/directionalVector (the multiplication with 2Pi/360 merely transforms an angle into Radian). Now consider that the angular sum in...

Modify the MPU3050 driver in linux kernel (Android) to use MPU6050
android,kernel,driver,accelerometer
Yes, you can. Consult the data sheets for the difference between the capabilities and registers of each device, but I believe you will find that the mpu-6050 is a superset of the mpu-3050 so extending a driver for one to accommodate the other should be a simple case of programming-by-example....

Most probably your classifier overfits, when you training it only on 1 person it not generalizes well, it may simply "memorize" dataset with labels instead of capturing general rules of distribution:how each feature correlated with other/how they affect result/etc. Maybe you need more data, or more features. It's not...
How to detect X motion using Accelerometer
I think you are mistaken, the accelerometer does not work this way, like a position tracker. Check The motion docs on d.android.com to see what I mean.
