Here’s the idea:
I want to make a phyphox experiment that tracks how a car moves, not too different from a plane’s black box or flight recorder. The data can then be exported as a .csv file, and then converted to a .gpx file to view the path the vehicle took. It won’t be too different from the Location experiment, but it will omit and format the data so it can be easily converted. I might also add a button so that a user can mark certain events and they will show up on the map.
I want to collect:
System time (hh:mm:ss)
Location (°)
Elevation (m or ft)
Velocity (km/h or MPH)
User input
The file would look something like:
time,latitude,longitude,elevation,speed,distance
19:02:34,29.85826475,-34.95838485,3,0.0001
…
Questions for the forum:
Would anyone find this experiment useful, or at least fun to use?
How can I default the experiment to system time?
What safety considerations should I include?
At what rate should I collect data?
Should/could I include a way to change the units within the app, or should I just have separate experiments?
Is there any feedback you have?
