UIAcceleration filtering

Hi, I found the following piece of code in apple guidelines: - (void)accelerometer:(UIAccelerometer*)accelerometer didAccelerate:(UIAcceleration*)acceleration { //Use a basic low-pass filter to only keep the gravity in the accelerometer values accel[0] = acceleration.x * kFilteringFactor + accel[0] * (1.0 - kFilteringFactor); ...

accelerometer range in iPhone

i have implemented following method in my application. - (void)accelerometer:(UIAccelerometer *)acel didAccelerate:(UIAcceleration *)aceler { if (fabsf(aceler.x) > 1.5 || fabsf(aceler.y) > 1.5 || fabsf(aceler.z) > 1.5 || fabsf(aceler.x) < -1.5 || fabsf(aceler.y) < -1.5 || fabsf(aceler.z) < -1.5 ) { self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonIte...

Multiple UIView instance doesn't work

Hi, I have subclass UIView class in a Bounce class with Accelerometer. This Bounce class show an image and move it on the screen. When the iPhone device is moved, this image Bounce on the screen. When I create multiple instance, only last instance work properlty: // in the MainViewController.m Bounce *heart[100]; for(int i = 0; i < ...

UIAccelerometer doesn't send events to second delegate

I am developing a game that uses a different controller for each level. It needs to detect a shake via the accelerometer, so it registers itself as a delegate like so: UIAccelerometer *accel = [UIAccelerometer sharedAccelerometer]; accel.delegate = self; accel.updateInterval = kUpdateInterval; When the level ends, this controller get...

Possible to receive UIAccelerometer updates when app is inactive?

When my iPhone app resigns active status, the sharedAccelerometer singleton instance of UIAccelerometer stops sending accelerometer:didAccelerate: messages to my delegate. Is it at all possible to continue receiving those messages, similarly to how the CLLocationManagerDelegate continues to receive updates when the app is inactive? I w...

Accelerometer detecting side to side movements - instant detection of change in direction.

Id have an app that does one thing if you shake it one way, and another if you shake it the other. atm my code is. if (acceleration.x > 1.5) { //arm to the right when facing you float duration = ([imageArray count]*0.04); //HUMAN EYE KEEPS IMAGES IN EYE For 40 MILLISECONDS// //NSLog(@"duration:%f", duration); [theF...

how to detect iphones loss of velocity.

How can you use the accelerometer to detect if the phone has come to a halt. In my case iw want to use it for, i'd like to detect whether its changed direction on the same axis ( a u-turn) which would involve the device stopping. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks, Sam. ...

maximal acceleration of UIAccelerometer

Hi, i want to track how fast my iPhone is moved. i checked the AceelerometerGraph Example App, where the maximum Amount was about 2.0 (in this app) i want to know how exactly i can track the speed of my moving iphone. in this example app the maximum amount is reached very fast. Is there a way to get better results ? Sry for my bad en...

I cant get UIScrollView and UIAccelerometer to play nice, even with threading

problem is, everytime i go into my application and scroll around inside the scrollview, everything else in the program is completely useless, and tills I stops me scrolling, the accelerometer, and not to mention everything else wont do a thing, if anyone has any idea how i can get around said problem, id be much obliged, yes I would. an...

How to caluclate the G-Force value of a moving car using iPhone accelerometer values

Hi all, I am working on app which is used to display the current G-Force value of a moving car on iPhone. I don't know how to calculate the G-force value using the iPhone accelerometer values. Also, I have to calculate distance and speed using these values. Can anybody help me out to fix this problem? Thanks in advance ...

How do I turn off accelerometer input for my flipside view

I have an iPhone 3.1.3 app which has only 2 methods of input in its main view. It has an info button to switch to a flipside view, and the only other input it takes in the main view is accelerometer movement. I want to switch off the accelerometer input when in the flipside view but haven't been able to find out how. I have the main vi...

iPhone accelerometer:didAccelerate: seems to not get called while I am running a loop

An accelerometer related question. (Sorry the formatting may not look right, its the first time I am using this site). I got the accelerometer working as expected using the standard code UIAccelerometer *accel = [UIAccelerometer sharedAccelerometer]; accel.delegate = self; accel.updateInterval = 0.1; //I also tried other update values...

What is the difference between "UIAccelerometer" and "CLLocationManager"?

What is the difference between "UIAccelerometer" and "CLLocationManager"? Both give me x, y and z axis as result. UIAccelerometer X -18.000 Y -03.500 Z -41.000 CLLocationManager X -0.036 Y -0.002 Z -1.069 Is this information from the same sensors with different formatting? Or are there "real" differences? Thanks! ...

iphone moving direction using accelerometer

Hi, I want some help on UIAccelerometer class. I want to find some way to find out or distinguish when I wave iphone device from right-to-left and the left-to-right. I am getting x,y,z values as well as interval value. I am also getting velocity and distance calculated from normal physics rule. Distance = (prevDist + sqrt(pow((prevx - ...

Hi all, Can anybody suggest to me some good applications that make use of UIAccelerometer Class and some references too ? ...

Using iphone accelerometer AND UIEventSubtypeMotionShake event simultaneousluy.

Hi, I am using accelerometer to move/change things on the screen in my app. I also need to detect UIEventSubtypeMotionShake in the view controller for some other animations. As my app is a simple view based app, there is just one view controller which acts as UIAccelerometerDelegate AND FirstResponder (for detecting the shake event). ...

UIAccelerometer is Shaking

Hi I want a functionality in which i want to detect if my device is being shaked.The problem is i can detect the shake with didAccelerate method of UIAcceleratorDelegate , but i dont know how to detect if the device is still shaking. I want to play an audio file when the user shakes the device for first time,i have to check if the user ...

iPhone: Problem collision using accelerometer and chipmunk

Hi everybody ! I am facing a problem using chipmunk and iPhone accelerometer. Indeed, I defined a ball shape and body : ballBody = cpBodyNew(100.0, INFINITY); ballBody->p = cpv(160, 240); cpSpaceAddBody(space, ballBody); cpShape *ballShape = cpCircleShapeNew(ballBody, 20.0, cpvzero); ballShape->e = 0.5; ballShape->u = 0.8; ballSha...
