Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite 2024.06.16

This app utilizes the internal sensors of your smartphone to collect, display, record, and export data files in .csv format. It offers a range of sensors, generators, and data analysis tools for various scientific purposes. The app's website, www.vieyrasoftware.net, provides valuable information on using these features in research and development cases as well as lesson plans tailored for educators in STEM fields.

The accuracy and precision of the available sensors are dependent on the hardware of your smartphone. Here are some of the key features:

• KINEMATICS
• • G-Force Meter - measures the ratio of Fn/Fg (x, y, z, and/or total)
  • Linear Accelerometer - measures acceleration (x, y, and/or z)
  • Gyroscope - measures radial velocity (x, y, and/or z)
  • Inclinometer - measures azimuth, roll, and pitch
  • Motion Visualizer - calculates position and velocity using LIDAR
• ACOUSTICS
• • Sound Meter - measures sound intensity
  • Tone Detector - detects frequency and musical tone
  • Tone Generator - produces sound frequencies
  • Oscilloscope - displays wave shape and relative amplitude
  • Spectrum Analyzer - provides graphical FFT analysis
• LIGHT
• • Color Detector - captures HEX colors within a specified area via the camera
  • Color Generator - generates R/G/B/Y/C/M, white, and custom screen colors
  • Proximeter - measures periodic motion and serves as a timer (with timer and pendulum modes)
• MAGNETISM
• • Compass - determines magnetic field direction
  • Magnetometer - measures magnetic field intensity (x, y, z, and/or total)
  • Magna-AR - provides augmented reality visualization of magnetic field vectors
• OTHER
• • Barometer - measures atmospheric pressure
  • GPS - provides latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, direction, and number of satellites
• COMBINATION

• The Multi Record feature allows you to select one or more sensors to collect data simultaneously.
