We have put together a huge package of news for the coming school year. But first, here’s an event announcement…
Digital education with phyphox 2025
This year, our summer training will take place in cooperation with the Institute for Didactics of Physics at Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main. The program is divided into two main topics with a focus on universities on Thursday afternoon and a focus on schools on Friday with plenty of time to look at everything. [Details and registration (in German)]
OK Camera
The new phyphox version 1.2.0 supports the camera(s) for the first time. There are also new UI elements and much (MUCH!) more. On iOS the “Roll” experiment is back in the menu and on Android you can now use the “weird” sensors from the device info in your own experiments [Full list of changes]
Web Editor
Create your own menu entries or customise the default experiments to suit your needs? The phyphox web editor is updated to support the app version 1.2.0. There are some substantial changes under the hood. Most of the teething problems should be eliminated now. Please report back if you spot something strange.
phyphoxBLE
The Arduino library now also works with single-core microcontrollers. Official support for the MKR 1010 WiFi, for which there is currently only a patch in our forum, will be added soon (update: on 11 August).
phyphox:kit
For the use of smartphone experiments in lower secondary education, there is the so-called phyphox:kit, a complete collection of materials for up to 16 setups with handouts and worksheets (in German, yet untranslated).
Quantum year and phyphox
The smartphone camera can be used to determine Planck’s constant, one of the fundamental constants of nature, (DIY project) and to demonstrate the quantum cryptography BB84 protocol.
One More Thing
Many details of the above can be found in our new material pool. Feel free to send us your additions.
Enjoy your (final days of the) summer break! ⛱️
