    Need help with android app for Bluetooth device

    Hi Stari, I need an app that reads the Mbientlab MetaWear C Bluetooth module then uses a mobile device to display the max spin speed (up to 3,300 RPM) + live spin speed + amount of full 360 degree turns + spin time using the modules gyro or accelorometer. The main problem is that the module's...

    Where can I buy a 20,000°/sec gyroscope?

    Thank you but unfortunately I think that the 20,000dps gyro's are 5 volt?

    Where can I buy a 20,000°/sec gyroscope?

    Hi Guys I am looking for a 20,000 degrees per second gyroscope but it must run off a 3 volt button cell. Any ideas where I can buy one from? Thank you

    Can anyone help help me with a Gear Ratio?

    So if the users fingers are the drive element how would you describe the drive system's different ratios/gearing?

    Can anyone help help me with a Gear Ratio?

    So could you call this difference between the 4mm and 12mm spindle and the users fingers a gearing ratio?

    Need help with android app for Bluetooth device

    Hi, I have bought a Mbientlab MetaWear C Bluetooth module and need help building an android or ios app to display 3 pieces of data from the module to a mobile device. Anyone here have any knowledge of the above hardware?

    Can anyone help help me with a Gear Ratio?

    So sorry guys. I am trying to work out the advantage or disadvantage of having two identical toy spinning tops (like inception tops) except one top has a 4mm diameter spindle and the other has a 12mm diameter spindle? I am guessing the gearing from along the users finger/thumb is the...

    Can anyone help help me with a Gear Ratio?

    So how could I explain the advantage or disadvantage of having a smaller diameter spindle over having a larger diameter spindle? Is this correct: 4mm to 34mm = 1,000rpm / 30 = 33.3 circumferential rate ? 12mm to 34mm = 1,000rpm / 22 = 45.4 circumferential rate ?

    Can anyone help help me with a Gear Ratio?

    I think that I am not explaining myself very well here, sorry M. Am I talking about rotational speed ratios? So if the rotation speed of the 4mm diameter rod is 1,000rpm the 34mm diameter rod would be 33.3rpm?

    Can anyone help help me with a Gear Ratio?

    Errr but if the 4mm outside diameter end of the rod is spinning at say 1,000 rpm then the 34mm outside diameter other end of the same rod must be spinning slower, yes/no? 4mm to 34mm = 1,000rpm / 30 = 33.3 ratio? 12mm to 34mm = 1,000rpm / 22 = 45.4 ratio?

    Can anyone help help me with a Gear Ratio?

    Hi, I have 2 solid spinning rods: Rod 1 has a diameter of 4mm at one end and 34mm at the other end. Rod 2 has a diameter of 12mm at one end and 34mm at the other end. Can anyone explain or tell me the gearing ratio for each rod? Very much appreciated. LazyBoy

    Measuring the speed of a Frisbee & Boomerang

    Hi Bob, Yes I agree however, I think it should be a fair trade off for the feedback... I have seen Frisbee's with whistles and l.e.d lights attached etc...so should be workable. I have asked them to position the battery exactly central on the PCB to help with balance.

    Measuring the speed of a Frisbee & Boomerang

    Hi Guys, Up-date I have been in talks with the electronics factory in China. They want to charge me USD$3,500 (approx GBP£2,450) for the pcb design, software programming and 3 samples This is the spec: 25mm diameter pcb 1 x 3v button cell (user replaceable) 1 x 4.0 LE Bluetooth module 1 x...

    Measuring the speed of a Frisbee & Boomerang

    Thank you Guy's, you have been so helpful. I am going to get a price for a prototype made in China, as I know an electronics factory that helped me develop a couple of other fun little products one being some L.E.D Children's Swimming Goggles around 10 years ago. Does anyone know the basic...

    Measuring the speed of a Frisbee & Boomerang

    Sorry guys this is all a bit over my head...are you saying that an accelerometer can not measure the rotational speed and that I will need a gyroscope?
