Is the gyroscope on a smartphone different?
« on: March 30, 2017, 03:13:39 am »
Hey guys what's up? I have a question for the real pilots and engineers out there. Since an attitude indicator works by a gyroscope, then why attitude indicator apps on my phone doesn't work properly? I actually tried all apps I could find on my last 3 phones, all of them equipped with a gyroscope, but all yield the same results. If you are standing still and you turn your phone as if you were in a plane and started to bank, it works, but if you're in an actual plane and it banks, the phone thinks the plane's inertia is the actual gravity and the AI indicates no bank. Why does it work differently if it's the same equipment? T
