Transform your iPhone into a digital scale

[Verite]

I get better results with an ordinary wire coat hanger. Cut bottom off evenly and curl points to hold identical baggies. Use the cut off piece as balance part and rest the hanger on top of it. A book on a table is enough to hold it. Bend the hook part straight and true it so when you look down from the top of it that its at a 90 degree angle top to bottom.

For accurate counterweights thank uncle sam. A US nickle will always be a good 5.00 grams and not stray from that but for a hundredth or two. US bills of every denomination will be 0.97-0.98 grams. Never saw one over a gram that wasnt wet or one under 0.96 that wasnt missing a piece of it.

You would be surprized even small differences tip the hanger past 90 degrees making for fairly accurate bags.

I also think this is the iphone scale they were talking about. Actually has a backlit display. Doesnt do .00005 accuracy but what do you expect from a $53 scale?

i would shit my pants if i witnessed someone weighing on an i phone. Add that to the mobile dealer kit. lol

Lil Wayne ive heard of this program as well. Maybe buddy at the headshop is not bullshitting you. I doubt it would be that accurate but who knows man. People are writing new programs for the IPhone every day.

Also caught that the IPhone is Heat Sensitive? if that really is the case...then i dunno..maybe its not true haha

Um, hardware and software are keywords here, and anything with 'I' in it reeks of the teenage corporate tit.

The "I" in 'Ipod' is representative of the "Me" generation and the sense of entitlement that goes with it.

The "Me,Me,Me" generation was spawned of the vision and endeavours of their 'Cocained' mentors.

The scales that I have used in the past that weigh to those ratios were worth nearly 20,000$ and were VERY hard to get to. If apple can acheive that in a handheld device then hats off to them, everyone with one of these devices is better off and worth more than Pablo Escobar.

lol scales that accurate are enclosed in a plexiglass box cuz tiny air currents, even in a closed room, will make the weight go up and down. At first i believed there could be a similar program out there that only measure to like .1g accuracy but i guess since it's just heat sensitive that isn't possible. that would be badass though if there was really a phone that could do that. every dealer with a brain and a little cash would have one of those. i'd get one too even though im not a dealer just cuz it's badass and it would be so convenient to be able to have a scale with you anytime you want without having to carry around an actual incriminating digi

Even if the iphone screen was pressure sensitive why on earth would anyone expect them to put in such an expensive sensor?

And yes as indicated before, the iphone only works with live fingers.

The 3.5 in liquid crystal display (320×480 px at 160 ppi) HVGA touch screen topped with optical-quality, scratch-resistant glass[46] is specifically created for use with a finger, or multiple fingers for multi-touch sensing. Because the screen is a capacitive touch screen, no stylus is needed, nor can one be used.[47][23] Bare skin is a requirement; users wearing gloves would have to remove them to use the touchpad,[48] unless they are wearing electrically conductive gloves.[49]

Clearly your smoke shop croneys, saw that iphone scale online that old boy just posted, and just fabricated a story about it being a program for the actual i phone.

Id just buy that scale, and a case for an iphone at the mac store and youd be in business for the average barney fife. Unless he copped your phone and tried to lurk your text messages to bust you for somethin or some shit. Then youd be fucked either way.

That scale is sick though. Just a good idea.
