Developer’s Description

RPM Speed & Wow lets you either look at the speed of your turntable, or measure the average speed, min/max variations and wow value.

RPM Speed & Wow lets you either look at the speed of your turntable, or measure the average speed, min/max variations and wow value.

Put your phone on the turntable the nearer to the center as possible, and you can:

- start the turntable and look at the rotational speed of it;

- click "start" on the app and start the turntable: the app waits 10 seconds in order to have a steady speed, then acquires data for other 10 seconds and displays average, max-min RPM values and wow estimation.

While still spinning, the app becomes red where the turntable runs faster than the average, and blue where the turntable runs slower. The feature is active until the phone is lifted up from the platter.Offset correction: if you do a measure with the phone flat and steady, the mean rpm value will be automatically set as an offset for the next measurements. Offset correction remains active until the app is closed and reloaded. Active Offset-correction is indicated by a text message.Click "reset" to reset the app to do another measurement (this does not reset the offset of the current session).

Click on the speed number to re-align it.

RPM S & W requires that your phone has a gyroscope.

Uses jjoe64 Graphview library.

Enjoy vinyl listening!Update history:

1.6.8

- Wrong message when the speed is "perfect": corrected.1.6.7

- The offset correction now applies also to the text rotation.

- Big bug in offset-correction corrected.1.6.5

- Correction for gyroscope sensor offset added: if you do a measure with the phone flat and steady, the mean rpm value will be automatically set as an offset for the next measurements. Offset correction remains active until the app is closed and reloaded. Active Offset-correction is indicated by a text message.1.6.0

- Colorfest! Now the app becomes red where the turntable runs faster than the average, and blue where the turntable runs slower. You can see where the speed changes happen. Achtung: don't worry, variations are totally normal in every turntable!

- Sensor noise filtering algorithm was rewritten.

- Clearer (and greener) average line in the graph.1.5.2

- Average line in the graph view added.

- Solved a graphic problem with certain text size general settings.1.5.0

- Major update! Graph visualization of the acquired data.

- Better management of the sensor noise.

- Increased resolution of the acquired data.1.1.2

- Wow algorithm's resolution improved.

- Minor graphic modifications.1.1.1

- Wow calculation error message corrected.

- Calculation of the deviation from the correct speed corrected.1.1

- Added Wow estimation!

- Added 16 2/3 rpm to the recognized speeds.
