AccelerateMe: How does acceleration works?

Monday, October 5th, 2009

A week ago, I was very confuse about how does the accelerometer works… So I decide to implement a nice, simple and fast PyS60 app to understand how does it works.

The result was a working and decent app, that shows three bars: x-axis, y-axis and z-axis. When you move the cellphone they react and you can see how does they change!

Playing with Symbian C++

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Today, I was playing with Symbian C++… I had been creating some Demo apps, to understand the difference to work into Python and Symbian C++

It’s really amazing! PyS60 rulezzz… On the bottom, I give the tutorial link, I want to make at least a simple App that reminds me each 5 minutes that I have some messages pending :) I’m making my first steps… Maybe soon, I can finish it!

The link I follow for the tutorial:

pyLine: Testing the Rotation Sensor

Monday, September 21st, 2009

As you may know, I’m becoming more and more addicted to new technology and when this kind of things start to happened, you try to understand every new piece that appears.

Well… Rotation Sensors are not something new, but it’s my first time having a cell phone that contains one… So, I has decided to code a simple script to test it.

The script is coded on PyS60 (Python for S60), and it’s a simple line that always stays on vertical position :)

Ray casting, S60, QT and touch screen!

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

I really like a lot that QT is being ported to S60… It’s not because I have a Nokia S60 v5 device, it’s that I like a lot the fact to port your applications to your cell phone with really little work!

Moving forward

I took the code from trolltech labs and added touch support for it!
