SensorScope plots the output of your phone's sensors, similar to a traditional oscilloscope. With SensorScope you can select ANY sensor of your phone, including all synthetic and corrected sensors, you can pause the plot, and you can zoom in and out on the time and value scales.
Use it if you are developing an app that uses sensors, to measure your environment, to learn about the physical phenomena that these sensors measure, or simply if you are curious.
Supported sensors are:
- Magnetic
- Uncalibrated Magnetic
- Acceleration
- Orientation (*)
- Sound
- Gyroscope
- Gravity (*)
- Linear acceleration (*)
- Rotation vector (*)
- Game Rotation vector (*)
- Geomagnetic Rotation vector (*)
- Light
- Pressure
- Proximity
- Bluetooth signal strength
- Wi-Fi signal strength
- Step Counter
- Step Detector
- Significant motion
- Relative humidity
- Temperature
- Ambient temperature
When it makes sense, you can plot the X, Y, and Z component, and the magnitude. For Wi-Fi and Bluetooth you can plot the strongest signal, or a chosen network.
Not all Android devices have all sensors, and some even have `fake' sensors that always return zero. The sensors indicated with (*) are `virtual', `synthetic' or `fused' sensors that combine or process data from other sensors.
