iPhone Barometer

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

Here’s a treat for the ‘Horological Pendulista’  amongst us:

[ and others, of course ]

Not only is it free, but the in-App purchase price for the Pro features [which include csv export] is currently £0

Forgive me ! But for horological pendulista, should that not read pedulista ? Noel.

[Grindstone CowboyParticipant @grindstonecowboy]

Thanks Michael. And it doesn’t collect any data, either.

Rob

[Harry WilkesParticipant @harrywilkes58467]

Wow just found out I live 263 ft above sea level

[Grindstone CowboyParticipant @grindstonecowboy]

Oddly, I’m at -598ft!

OK for iPhone, but I’m an Android user.

So does this response count as grumpy? (•‿•)

I have no idea, Noel … I certainly typed what I intended

Perhaps you could explain your joke/correction/insult/whatever …

Not in the same league as Bernard, Ian

It was an oblique reference to his ‘April’ remark on another recent Topic.

I hope I’ve never insulted any one on here ! I had undertood you to be refering to the pedants of the horological world ? Was I wrong ? Noel

[Maurice TaylorParticipant @mauricetaylor82093]

Hi, What does pendulista mean ?

Maybe the same as Pedulista

[Ian PParticipant @ianp]

Serious question.

Does the iPhone contain a pressure sensor?

I was trying to refer to the several of us with a significant interest in Horological Pendulums … which devices are, of course, sensitive to the local barometric pressure.

Edit: __ apologies if it was too cryptic

… think Cognoscenti, Mafiosa, and such.

Serious answer, Yes [in many, if not all, models]

Nah, that’s someone who rides a bike!    There are similar apps for Android phones and if the phone does not have a suitable sensor they will get the local barometric pressure from a nearby weather station.

I’ll get back on my bike now 🙂

MichaelG.

Should that be ‘Pendula’ ?  🙃

David

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

It would depend whose book you use, David

MichaelG.

[Harry WilkesParticipant @harrywilkes58467]

So Rob’s at 598 ft who lives higher ?

[Maurice TaylorParticipant @mauricetaylor82093]

Hi, I assume that nobody knows what pendulista means.

Maurice

[bernard towersParticipant @bernardtowers37738]

If giving a factual response is grumpy so be it

I made it up … and have attempted to explain

… it was just supposed to be a throwaway, to suit the moment.

Edit: __ it actually appears that Duncan Webster takes precedence

he used the word here: https://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/reply/659418/

and no-one found it remarkable at the time.

It’s not so much what you say, Bernard … as the way that you say it
