Today we say goodbye to Jens after handling our public outreach for more than 5 years. While we're sad to see him leave we are optimistic to see more chances to work together in the future.
You can still reach him through his phyphox email and of course his social media channels (@hcszt.d-64.social)
Photo of the parting present for Jens. A 3D printed base holds four items: A large phyphox logo made of wood, a medium 3D printed phyphox logo in organge and white and a small phyphox logo engraved into a block of clear acryllic. The forth item in the front is a black coated aluminium business card engraved in German: "Danke für 5 Jahre phyphox-Dienst" (Thanks for five years of phyphox service)

The smartphone physics challenge, vulgarisation.fr/smartphone-p..., by @julien-bobroff.bsky.social, @organtin.bsky.social, and others:
That’s on me meme: Jake: “I’m a physicist” Jess: “Okay, then name 61 ways to measure the height of a building.” Jake: “With a smartphone?” Jess: (silently) “That's on me, I set the bar too low.”

FAQ: How do you pronounce “phyphox”?

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.

Ever wondered what to do with these “weird” sensor entries in Android's device info? With version 1.2.0, you can now try to use these by defining its type or name in a custom experiment configuration.

Identifying correct unit or scale at your own risk, though.

Noticed the difference? After seven years the “Roll” experiment is back in version 1.2.0 on iOS.

(Thanks for the advice to … you know who you are.)
“Mechanics” category in the phyphox main menu with the “Roll” entry not being greyed out.

Our new version 1.2.0 seems to be on the home straight and it is time that you all give the public test a shot: phyphox.org/download/

Plenty of new features with new camera experiments or new UI elements and many bug fixes.
Screenshot of the tone generator with a slider for the frequency, likely both the most loved and hated new feature…

Marbles counting for all: get the 1.2.0 test version at phyphox.org/download/ (in the accustomed beta quality). Highlights: luminance or hue/saturation/value measurements, brightness or color stopwatches, brightness spectrum (soon on Android), several new UI elements (soon on Android) #ITeachPhysics

OTD in 2017: Let’s celebrate #PiDay by approximating π with smartphone sensors! All you need is phyphox and the π-experiment at phyphox.org/piday/
Preview of the pi experiment in phyphox. After 1623 random points in a square with 1275 inside the circle, the approximation gives 3.142 for pi

The acceleration spectrum of a rammer in use as measured by a smartphone placed on a nearby cable junction box (“KVz” in Germany). The hardware specs (engine rpm) match the highlighted peak, however, the harmonics are more dominant here.
Left: acceleration spectrum with a highlighted peak at 11.7 Hz and three more that are even higher, with the one at roughly 35 Hz clearly overshooting the rest; Right: rammer that is about to be loaded onto a truck by a crane

Anything rotating with a few thousand revolutions per minute will create vibrations at the same frequency. Your phone's accelerometer can pick it up and phyphox can calculate the frequency spectrum, giving you the rotational frequency.
