Hi guys, I am new to java and am trying to learn... as a mechanical engineer i am stoked on tweaking with the accelerometer and other neat aspects to the G1/ Android.
I want to make an application which, at the push of a button, record your "position" and then you move it a foot hit the button again and it will tell you approximately how far you moved. First is this possible? A little more detail is here: When the button is pushed, the software would start calculations on the accelerometer, I dont know how it works, but I would assume theres a counter in the software, and everytime the accelerometer sent me info I would multiply it by the amount of time since the last data and we would get a distance in X, Y and Z. At the final position, you push the button and it takes the final x, y z and subtracts the original to get the change in position. If you want only 1 value output you just sqrt( x^2 + y^2 + z^2) to get the distance vector. I appreciate the help and suggestions. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
