Description

This is a spirit level or carpenter's level that uses the accelerometer to determine the orientation. I don't find it to be very accurate, but its a fun tool to have. In the code I adjust for how the Pre doesn't sit quite straight. In my Pre this allows it to just about zero out accurately. From my testing it is accurate withing +/-.2 degrees.

As you will see, the graphics are atrocious. This app can't reach its potential without killer graphics. I, unfortunately, can't make them so it is up to you guys.

Usage info

have slider closed
place pre battery side down
app takes a couple seconds to zero in on the correct angle (there maybe be some jumping around)
remember this is an app in progress and in beta testing stages
card must be maximized otherwise it will pause (for battery reasons)
