Android data acquisition app suggestions

[Byron Goodman]

Just as the title says....

I would like to get some basic data collection using my smart phone. What apps are people using?

Thanks

I haven't used it yet (just downloaded it), but there's a free app called aLapHD that can track g and GPS. If you prefer to pay for something, so you have someone to yell at if it doesn't work, there's also something called Trackmaster. Haven't tried either one yet, but between now and next event I'm going to fool with aLapHD, then try it out at the next event. I'll let you know what I think.

Trackmaster is decent. However, you'll want to buy the bluetooth add-on module for trackmasters & get a 5hz or 10hz bluetooth gps.

The internal gps of android phones (and all smartphones currently, I believe) is limited to 1hz. This will give you a general feel of what you are doing, but it will be essentially useless for comparisons/analysis/etc.
