I have a suggestion for your calibration. To verify the calibration for a normal level set in place and notice the bubble location. Then rotate the level 180 degrees and note the new location of the bubble. If the level is precise, the bubble will be in the same spot with both tries. Perhaps you could include calibration program for your level which will do the same thing. The algorithm could look at the offset of the bubble, for each set, then split the difference in the calibration mode.
Not sure where to post this, but the screen needs one more digit of resolution (or have it so you can change it). I'm not sure of the actual accelerometer A/D resolution, but I think you could add one digit (so it reads 0.1 degrees instead of 0 degrees). I think the phone is capable of this resolution. Zero degrees covers quite a large range of angle when in flat mode, or tilted mode. Suggest adding a menu with "resolution" and 3 selectable, 0, 0.0, and 0.00 (or just two if 0.00 degrees produces a strange result).... Thanks, M Smith
I had this rather annoying experience. I use bubble to level my camper. But the app was (auto) updated in between. I arrived on the campingsite, the app adked to calibrate before continuing. What a situation! No surface to calibrate from. Auto update is now turned off. Not too serious but anyway....even simple apps can have their downside. Like it anyway. Keep it up!
hi there
ReplyDeletethanks for a great application
please can you update it for froyo
so it can be moved to the sd card
please please
thanks
mayur
Hi
ReplyDeleteWhy no mention of Clipbot on your site? It's one of the most useful apps in the Android Market.
I'm puzzled.
