Phyphox free cell phone app for sensors

[vela]

At the Fall SCAAPT meeting, I learned about a free cell phone app, phyphox, which allows users to collect various types of data using their phones' sensors. I downloaded it, but I haven't looked into it very much yet. I just thought I'd mention it since others might find it useful or just fun to mess around with.

Wow! I've been studying some of the example experiments. Very impressive.

I would not be surprised if we hear about phyphox often in PF's near future.

Edit: A good way to get acquainted is to search "phyphox experiments" on Youtube.

phyphox can support bluetooth devices,
e.g. the PocketLab (although it only supports two of its sensors).

I did the "salad slug" experiment this semester. First time I ever used that kitchen gadget.
Perhaps this tells you something about my eating habits...

I use it innmy classrooms regularly, especially when the topic of sound is treated.

I’m going to start using it more regularly because of the applications with sound. (One of my classes is primarily for sonography students.)
