## Description

Flux Vario uses the accelerometer and gyroscope to give a much faster response than is possible with the barometer alone. This is the reason an app can rival a dedicated instrument. Additionally the sound is fully customisable, smooth and pleasant.<br><br>Barometers in phones are typically high quality. Common examples include the Bosch BMP380, InvenSense ICP10101 and STMicroelectronics LPS22H, with noise densities in the range 2-10cm/√Hz. This data is combined with accelerometer and gyroscope data using a high-order complementary filter. The result is a vario that instantly and accurately responds to changes in climb rate. You immediately hear when you enter or exit a thermal core, and this corresponds to the feeling you get through the harness. This is essential to maximising efficiency in thermals, particularly in weaker conditions.<br><br>Additionally:<br>🪂 Fully customise the sound.<br>🪂 Import sound settings from other devices.<br>🪂 See climb rate, average climb rate, altitude and ground speed.<br>🪂 See track and heading on the compass view.<br>🪂 See pitch and bank on the attitude indicator (artificial horizon).<br>🪂 Practise climbing in the thermal simulator.<br><br>Primarily Flux Vario is a quality audio vario with an instant response.
