iPhone datalogging with a rocket


From MobileOrchard: "Michael Koppelman - an iPhone developer and model rocket enthusiast - decided to combine his hobbies by launching an iPhone into the skies with his very own “iPhone rocket.” Michael shares lots of interesting technical (and some less than technical) information during the interview, including: * how he polled the GPS and accelerometer * the lag between the GPS and the actual position of the rocket * how network access blocked polling - and how this affected the experiment * how the accelerometer only reported 3G (seriously!) instead of the expected 17G"
