How to weigh small items using the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus
Ios / / December 23, 2019
New iPhone 6s and 6s Plus equipped with touch sensitivity screens that allow you to view a preview of links perform quick action when you click on the application icon, draw different lines in the "Notes" and smaller weigh... items.
Of course, the possibility of 3D Touch-screen dominates the minds of enthusiasts, and the result was not long in coming. If the iPhone 6s can determine the strength of clicks, then why not make it scales? No sooner said than done.
Redditor scarylunatic submitted Web-based application that using JavaScript can determine the mass of objects directly in Safari. The only caveat - things need to be put not on the screen itself, but in the spoon that rests on it. This is due, probably, to the fact that depression is detected when exposed to a point, rather than the screen area.
Thus, we need to weigh:
• iPhone 6s and 6s Plus;
• suitably sized spoon;
• Web application Pressure Scale.
As in conventional scales in this application have the calibration button, so, putting a spoon on the screen, you must first calibrate the balance, and then put the object to be weighed in a makeshift bowl. We must act with extreme caution so as not to affect the accuracy of measurement and to avoid damaging the display.
According to the specifications of the device, the screen recognizes up to 385 grams, but in fact it is not necessary to experiment with such a large weight, the more that place large items in the spoon to be problematic. "Balance" is excellent to determine the mass of objects within a few tens of grams without any consequences for the iPhone and with sufficient accuracy.
If you modified the 3D Touch sensitivity in the smaller side, then weighing it may not be enough. In this case, try to set a default value or a bit larger.
Of course, this is just a fun experiment and use the iPhone as a scale for any serious purposes such as cooking is not necessary. Especially if you Walter White.
