Dynolicious turns iPhone into cheap performance meter

Looks neat, might be worth the 13 bucks to check out.

Pretty cool IMO

there is a thread about this on the bmw fourms, verdict is it’s as accurate as any other , I’ll try it tommorow

I’m gunna buy it now and F around with it :tup:

I plan on grabbing one in a month or two and hope any bugs are out

I was about to buy this then I read the reviews. I think I’ll wait for an updated version or someone to write one with less bugs.

Hmm…

Kinda cool, except i already have a beltronics FX-2. Color graphs are fun.

Cool. I would need a car worth tuning though :frowning:

Just out of curiousity why does the iPhone have an accelerometer built into it? Isn’t it fully solid state, or does it use the angle to change display settings/app functions?

ooooo wonder if someone will do something similar using the real time GPS?

gonna get it now, any updates are free just fyi.

2 accelerometers actually… which supposidly are VERY accurate…

Word, just download labryinth you’ll see how sensitive it is!

In typical apple fashion, they decided people would think its awesome if you tip over your iPhone and the browser tips over with it. And in the new 2.0 software update if you tip it in calculator, it goes into scientific mode.

Its just a basic xy, yet pretty sensitive, there is a level app, and a lot of games use it.

also hotness when you take the phone off your ear the screen illuminates. its the little things in life that make me happy lol.

Well that has nothing to do with the accelerometer, but yes it is awesome.

Why the hell should the screen on my phone be on when its facing my ear? No need to light up my face and kill the battery, nice apple decided to do something about this outrage. But i don’t have a iphone, so my face glows during conversations.

Lets do some tests and compare it to the drift box then!

IMO they are there to make the GPS function better, and be more accurate than other ones, using the Dead Reckoning process. By having one for ‘horizontal’ and ‘vertical’, it can (as shown by this program) detect how fast your moving, what your lateral g’s are, and predict where you’ll be/are by the time it’s displayed on the screen.

i’d buy an iphone if this app turns out to be a good one…

This doesn’t use GPS yet, just the accelorometer. Meaning, it would die next to the drift box currently :frowning:
