Dynolicious Iphone App

[syx]

Hi,

I did a search for dynolicious and couldn't find anything so forgive me if its been mentioned already.

Dynolicious

From the site.

* 0-60 Acceleration

* 1/4 Mile Elapsed Time

* Lateral G's

* Horsepower

If you have an Iphone its a cheap ($15.99) way to see some fairly accurate(?) stats for your car. Just do a search for dynolicious in the app store.

It does not have metric units in it so far, but I think it will be very popular and will get a metric option down the track.

Check out the screenshots page

EDIT: Just playing with the app now, you can put multiple cars into it, you get to put a photo for your car from the camera's photos. You also get to add mods to see before and after results. It has mounting instructions in the app.

The only testing ive been able to do so far is to swing it about to get to to measure g's and things which is making me look like an idiot in the office

hahaha wow cool! what an awesome find!

will definitely give this a go... wonder how accurate it is?

[Kranker]

Must work in a simliar way to a g-tech, accuracy will depend on the quality of the accelerometer in the i-phone. And a g-tech is accurate to aboutn 1/10 of a second they say.

Even if it isnt accurate (but it should be ok), it should be consistant, if you get what i mean. So good for comparing before and after. But i dont find the horsepower tool on my g-tech very useful, so i doubt you will on ur iphone.

Very nice little program...you essentially get a basic g-tech for a fraction of the price,

post ur times up

Or if you have a symbian S60 phone you can get that and more by using an ap called race chrono found here --> http://www.racechrono.com/ which is 100% free.

[G3TFKD]

have you used that racechrono application before? how is it if you have?

[scathing]

I've got mates who use Race Chrono as a lap timer. They're happy with it, and with the data output you can plot graphs and stuff.

Hrmm, wonder whether GPS or accelerometer would be more accurate.. And if someone could make one for the iPhone that uses both for accuracy haha.

[scathing]

If you just want quarter mile runs, the G-Tac is cheaper.

[bryno]

yeah even shows drivetrain loss.. no idea how it figures out that kind of stuff. would be cool for before and after mod comparisons.

now if only i could afford an iphone..

[TTT]

will this work on my nokia 3210?

Thanks TiTAN.. hadnt heard of this before..

I have downloaded and installed it with the latest firmware onto my 6110 navigator, and ill let you guys know how it goes once i give it a run..

A 1hz GPS won't be accurate for standing start stuff because it only updates once a second.... a 5hz would be a bit better, a combination of both GPS and accelerometer would be good.

That is pretty cool that you can do that with the iphone, ive always thought they are overated.

That is gold!! How do you know if your S60 symbian mob has an accelerometer or not, was thinking of getting a samsung G810, not sure if it has one though, would love something like that if it could data map stuff.

Don't worry, just saw it on the list for the 3rd edition... Pays to actually read links

N95 is S60 with acceleromter

ive got one on mine called TEMPES.GTX

its pretty average. i'm sure racechrono works on N95 too, but it has too many options for my liking.

i'm guessing Dynolicious will be ported to S60 before too long.

Dynolicious is pretty cool but only ported to iPhone at the moment as far as I know.

Can't wait to get my car back on Monday to give it a proper go. Tried it out in my friends Golf GTi today and was pretty impressed. I am sure it's not 100% re power readings but still a cool novelty! Nice to play with between hands of Texas Hold-em

On another note, thoroughly impressed with the GTi, drove it out to the airport today and it was a good drive. Pretty quick stock out of the box

I gave this a go the other day, pretty good, seems pretty close to real figures.... I'd like to see how many lateral G i pull at PI on Semis....
