Inside the Top Analysis App

A window into the data, the code, and the quiet science of spinning tops.

The Idea

The journey began with a simple question: how to measure the unseen rhythm of a spinning top? To capture vibrations, RPM decay, and frequency peaks — data that whispers secrets of balance and wear.

Design and Technology

Built on Android, the app reads accelerometer data streamed from CSV files, parsing time, X, Y, and Z-axis vibrations. Five elegant graphs reveal RPM, FFT, vibration strength, peak frequencies, and RPM decay — all visualized to reveal hidden truths.
