Do you do any simple experiments? Or track things and analyse them? - SDF Chatter
Recently downloaded the phyphox
[https://f-droid.org/packages/de.rwth_aachen.phyphox/] from F-Droid and thought
about this while thinking about what all stuff I could do with it.
Are there any online resources about such stuff?
What all things have you(or people you know, in your locality etc) done along
that line?
And not only big thigs, if you’re tracking other stuff, please do share your
experience on that too.
A fun experiment I did recently was to measure the speed of sound with my oscilloscope. I wired up a speaker and a microphone at a known distance from each other, connected the oscilloscope to both sides and measured how long it took between sound trigger & reception. I came within several meters/second accuracy which I think is a nice result for a basic home lab setup.
Cool.
Did you notice any thing that’d useful/interesting for others? Or anything that you think others should start to track too?
For the average household I think tracking your energy and gas consumption is most useful as it allows you to spot accidental wasteful usage and both save money and the environment :)
