#13That's awesome. You can make a scale another way too, by using the barometer in the iPhone. You will need a ziplock or other airtight clear plastic bag, and an object of known weight for calibration. You can measure the change in air pressure in the bag with your iPhone inside, and put your object to weigh on top of the bag (carefully balanced). There is a linear relationship between the rise in air pressure and the…
For some reason, that reminds me of the classic "measure the height of a building using a barometer" joke.

#17Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've only tinkered so far, but I've just ordered a set of calibration weights to have a proper play next week. Watch this space!
A US nickel coin weighs exactly 5g. Edit: if you happen to be in that exotic locale. I'm sure other coinage has similarly consistent weight.
