Acceleration Explorer

Acceleration Explorer is an open source Android application with two different purposes. The first purpose is to provide examples to developers of how to implement the Android acceleration sensor and apply various smoothing and linear acceleration filters. The second purpose is a functioning application allowing teachers, students and hobbyists (who may not be interested in the code) to visualize the acceleration sensor's outputs and how different filters effect the outputs. The source code is available on GitHub, here: https://github.com/KEOpenSource/AccelerationExplorer
Acceleration Explorer has five main Activities. A logger view, a vector view, a tilt view, a noise view and a diagnostic view. Each Activity provides a different visualization of some aspect of the acceleration sensor.

Acceleration Explorer Features:


* Plots the output of all of the sensors axes in real-time
* Log the output of all of the sensors axes to a .CSV file
* Visualize the magnitude and direction of the acceleration as a vector
* Smoothing filters include low-pass, mean and median filters
* Easily compare the performance of smoothing filters
* Linear acceleration filters include low-pass as well as sensor fusion complimentary (orientation, rotation matrix and quaternion) and Kalman (quaternion) filters
* Visualize the tilt of the device
* Measure the acceleration sensors frequency, offset and noise
* Compare the performance of multiple devices

Doesn't work as I expected, the dot in the circle jitters but does not move position as I walk the phone around. I've been testing my phone's sensors in my own code and they work, so not sure why this app is failing to show movement.

Looks useful but log file doesn't appear to work. I like the option for apparently cancelling out the gravity component so that only the linear acceleration on each axis is displayed. BUT in the csv log file I only getting the timestamp column filled in and there is no z y z axis data

its nothing but a bubble level. tested and does not measure acceleration

Simple and elegant - professional job, many thanks!

Where is the log? How to play it back?

the app is really sophisticated, did not know android phones could get such accurate measurements. The logger is really a powerFUll TOOLLll

The logger activity with the many filtering options is great! Really helpful in understanding the different filtering methods. Overall excellent and a special thanks for making this open source.

This app shows the orientation NOT acceleration of my phone. Rename your app? Great app otherwise though.

I love this app
