Looking forward to experimenting with that doppler effect!

Wow, Doppler Effect. I'm really looking forward to playing with this.

Edit: Crap. @Bloovy One beat me to it

Liking the new Logo BTW! Downloading now!

I thought it might be nice for motorcyclists who want to know from sound only when orientation changes. I don't think it will be for everyone.

Here's a brief demo:

The only military upgrade for your V1!

That doppler effect is nice! Gonna try that out!

I really like the Doppler shift feature by the way. The frequency shift seemed pretty dramatic when I first heard it so I set out to estimate the vehicle speed used.

Obviously, the alert tones are not a pure frequency, but it appears the "approaching" tone is a mix of 1000Hz and 700Hz with maybe a few other frequencies thrown in, while the "departing" tone is a mix of 900Hz and roughly 620Hz plus some other tones. Using 1000Hz approaching and 900Hz departing frequency for a sound wave implies the approach (and departing) velocity would be roughly 40mph. Not as fast as I expected. Is this correct?

Obviously, I have too much time on my hands.

It's not that complex. I just adjust pitch for side and rear orientations, with some smoothing between current pitch and target pitch. Speed is not a factor.

Thanks for your response. How much of a pitch adjustment are you using?

 

[johnboy00]

Thanks for your response. How much of a pitch adjustment are you using?

Ahead = base
Side = base - 5%
Rear = base - 10%

 

[barry]

Ahead = base
Side = base - 5%
Rear = base - 10%

Perfect, Thanks. A total pitch change of 10% (i.e., from 1000Hz to 900Hz) is consistent with what you would hear when driving by a stationary sound source at 40mph.

How do you activate the Doppler effect? Great job again johnboy00!

How do you activate the Doppler effect? Great job again johnboy00!

Settings->Audio

Enable alert sounds

Go down to Ka band options and enable Doppler effect

 

[johnboy00]

You can also click the search icon at the top right of every settings screen and search for "doppler".

Awesome can't wait to try the custom override map so I can fine tune some areas I drive through. THANKS

2.0.6 just showed up in my Play Store updates.

Here's a brief demo:

what do I need to enable doppler effect... it currently is greyed out?

Just received my V1 Gen2 yesterday so first time using the app in about a week. Love the new interface and helpful guides in the Profile for G2, e.g., USA+Logic mode recommend for best app muting, etc. Cool logo too.
