4x4 Inclinometer Trial 1.3
This app is a car inclinometer instrument formeasuring angles (in degrees) of slope and tilt.4WD off-road enthusiasts understand the importance to have it onboard.Based on the internal sensor that most of the android devices havenowadays, it shows a drawing/picture of a 4x4 off-road vehicle ofyour preference tilting on an artificial horizon.It is also known as pitch & roll indicator.Actual rolling and pitching angles of your truck can be measuredonly when the vehicle is still. (or moving at a steady speed)When not in motion, the maximum right/left tilt for a vehiclebefore it turns over is around 25~30 degrees and somewhere around40 degrees in a front or rear slope. Of course, depending on manyfactors and characteristics of your vehicle. Suspension lifts, forexample,rise the center of gravity. So, maximum safe operatingangles are reduced. Therefore extra caution is required.While moving on road, it can be used also as a g-force reference,so you can use it as warning on how fast you are taking curves bysetting the alarm to suitable levels.That is not it !! If your android device have a GPS receiver,you can also enjoy measures of altitude, speed and a compass. (inPRO version) (Compass is not magnetic but gps based, thereforeworks only in motion).Place your smartphone or tablet in your car´s holder, while itis still and leveled, press calibrate, set the alarms to thedesired point (in PRO version) and you are ready to go !This Trial Version is published with the sole purpose that userscan try the app before buying it.It has almost full functionality (limited in number of models anddoes NOT keep configuration parameters), but works only for twominutes.BUY THE PRO VERSION AND ENJOY FEATURES SUCH AS:-Keep the configuration of vehicle, alarms and calibration afterswitching on/off the application.-Set rolling and pitch alarms to the level you want. By a "longpress" in the alarm LED and then slide your finger up/down.-Choose the 4x4 vehicle that best fit your car or the one you likethe most. By a "double tap" on ME logo.New vehicles will be added as number of users demand for a newmodel.-GPS navigation aid. Altimeter, speedometer and compass areavailable in the bottom display if a receiver is available andturned ON.
Car Accelerometer PRO 1.3
In simple words, this Accelerometerappmeasures the forces that the occupants are subject to inside ofacar.Based on the internal sensor that most of the Android deviceshave,it shows with the Green bubble to where and how much your bodyisbeing pushed in two axis, longitudinal and lateral.These two are in standard units of m/seg^2, while thecompoundvector´s magnitude is displayed in terms of G-Force.Acceleration is popularly measured also in terms of g-forceinrelation to the Earth´s gravity (g). As you know 1g = 9.8m/seg^2so, the relation between the two units is around 1 to10.As you have seen on TV in the F1 races !. Of course, the carsthatregular human bodies drive, are subject to just a fraction ofwhata F1 pilot feels in a race. Lateral forces of 2g, 3g andsometimesup to 5g for short period of times.For us, the regular earthling, we move in a city and theroadswithin a 0.5g scale. Maybe up to 1g if you got your supersportcar...you know couple of hundred thousands dollars wellspent!To accelerate from 0 to 100Km/h (60 MpH), in 10 seconds you needanaverage of 2.7 m/seg^2 acceleration.The red marks and displays in both axis hold a maximumreachedsince the last time you "Reset Max". A yellow mark tellsthat youhave gone over scale but red displays will still retain themaximumvalue.Just place your phone or tablet on your car´s holder andpress"Calibrate" while the car is still and leveled.The applications has been designed for Landscapeorientationonly.PRO version features of the accelerometer :- "Double Tap Me and get yours !!" Keep double tapping on theMelogo until you see the one of your car or.... the one ofyourdreams !- It will retain the last used logo and calibration. Next timeyoustart the app, it will bring them as default.NOW it plots acceleration vector in the three axis in orangeandlongitudinal in white.****Disclaimer-Trademarks***This application does not own any of the logos or claimanyownership of them.
