AndroSensor

clean-up: #53

Below some code for reading and parsing data from the Android app AndroSensor.

With this free app, you can record a lot of different sensors in your Android phone (like GPS, accelerometer, mic, battery, light etc) and save it to a comma-separated file (CSV). Later one can copy over the data file from the Android phone to a computer and read it in SuperCollider. the CSV files are normally stored on the SD card in a folder called AndroSensor.

By default, the app only saves and display data at slow update rates, so go into the AndroSensor's settings and change update interval to very fast and recording interval to for example 0.05 seconds (the fastest).

Attached below is a demo CSV file of me first keeping the phone still, and then shaking it a bit + turning it around. The data recording is only about eight seconds long.

If you plot for example the 3D accelerometer data it will look like this...
