Record GPS and IMU data with MOTOrift

What is IMU data?

Your phone has an IMU sensor built in that detects gravity or movement. It combines an Accelerometer, Gyro and Magnetometer sensor to give you a better idea of how you were moving. When used with a motorcycle or high performance driving you can see how hard you were accelerating, turning or stopping.

To use MOTOrift hit the start button once you're on the main screen of the app

Put your phone away safely, MOTOrift records data in the background, you can stop it from the app or the notification bar by pretting STOP

Toggle between sensors displayed, choose between Accelerometer, Gyroscope or Magentometer data.

Each sensor displays X, Y and Z axis. X-axis is Roll , Y is Pitch and Z is Yaw

To visualize roll data think of lying on the ground and rolling around, or on a motorcycle leaning left and right around a corner, it is what it sounds like. Pitch is for example when going up a steep hill you'll have more pitch than rolling down a flat road. To visualize Yaw, stand in one spot and spin in a circle.

Each sensor represents a different type of movement, the accelerometer sensor detects acceleration. A moped or scooter doesn't acclerate as hard as a top fuel dragster. With Accelerometer data you can see how hard you were accelerating for each axis-direction.

Gyroscope data is similar to acclerometer data but it measures "angular velocity"

The Magnetometer is a compass sensor it detects changes in your direction.

Together you have a 9 axis motion sensor right in your phone! To view your sensor data select any axis from the main screen

Once you stop recording, select any sensor data to view a history graph view of all your data, the Android and web companion apps have more data viewing options
