Blockly-ed Editor

Ever wanted to design your own phyphox experiments (those menu entries)? We get you started with our new blockly-ed editor.

🧑‍🔧 It should be at the public-test quality that you expect from us. We are looking forward to your feedback.

By the way, there is roughly a week left to register to our summer workshop in Bochum/Germany on September 13 (and 12: with university focus). That’s the best place to try it out.

Camera support on Android

The new public beta of phyphox on Android includes support for smart device cameras. There is a first set of experiments that utilise it: “Brightness (Luminance)”, “Color (Hue Saturation Value)”, and two camera stopwatches for brightness and colour.

All smartphone scientists being fearless and/or keen to experiment: try it, break it, and report back what you notice in our forums or by mail.
