What sensors can I stream from my Android phone?

SensorCast provides access to 20+ built-in Android sensors including accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, GPS, light sensor, proximity sensor, pressure sensor, temperature, humidity, and more. All sensors are pre-calibrated by the phone manufacturer.

Is SensorCast really free?

Yes! SensorCast is completely free with no hidden costs. You get unlimited sensor streaming, all connection methods (Bluetooth, WiFi, USB), and access to all features at zero cost.

What microcontrollers does SensorCast support?

SensorCast works with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and any device that supports Bluetooth, WiFi, or USB serial communication. We provide code examples and libraries for popular platforms.

Do I need to wire my phone to my Arduino?

No wiring required! SensorCast streams data wirelessly via Bluetooth or WiFi. USB cable connection is also available if you prefer wired communication.

How accurate are phone sensors compared to dedicated modules?

Modern Android phones use industrial-grade sensors that are factory-calibrated and often more accurate than cheap DIY sensor modules. For example, phone IMUs typically have better temperature compensation and noise reduction than $5 MPU6050 modules.

The Real Cost of DIY Sensors

The Budget Killer

A basic 9-axis IMU costs $25. Add GPS ($30), barometer ($15), light sensor ($8)... Your project budget is gone before you write a single line of code.

Average sensor kit: $200+

The Wiring Nightmare

Wrong pin? Fried sensor. Forgot the pull-up resistor? Another $15 wasted. Spent 3 hours debugging I2C? That's your weekend.

The Calibration Headache

Cheap sensors drift. Uncalibrated readings are useless. Factory calibration costs extra. Your robot thinks 'up' is sideways.
