Have released version 6.0 of DSC Test. It supports N-star alignment. Please give it a try. A tutorial is available here:
lavadip.com/media/dscIntro.pdfPlease tell me which DSC board do you have?
I currently plan to support the following bluetooth boards:
- Craig Combe’s Bluetooth board (which is a modification of David Ek’s serial board)
- BETI by AstroDevices
If you know of any other Bluetooth boards, or serial boards with a Bluetooth adapter, please let me know.

Good idea. Such a service could be used by SkEye itself to connect to another (perhaps older) phone.
I need to check whether Android allows custom bluetooth services to be defined.

Agreed, I will be implementing this.
In fact, I am working on a very similar idea, which will be even more convenient.
Have a look here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/skeye/wiki/remote-sensorsThis currently works with dedicated sensors, but in the future, a phone could be made to act as sensing device (as suggested by you).

SkEye now shows a little warning message when the magnetic field strength is abnormal.
Need to now implement a “meter” as suggested in the idea.

Reopening, because I think there is potential here for creative uses that I hadn’t thought of before.
Such as aligning a radio antenna to East (as suggested by Adrian on email).

I'd like to use SkEye + sensor device (wiced sense2) to turn a Yagi radio antenna by azimuth. Usual align can't be used (I can't see what antenna sees - antenna is out and high on a tower).
It would be great to have a special align procedure, asking to point antenna to N, then E, S, W, in order to acquire a good azimuth accuracy.
This procedure can also be used to fast align a lunette or binoculars in 4 points for azimuth.
It would be great to have an option to display the magnetic field value on x,y,z.
There are many android apps which can do that, but they don't work with remote sensors.
The mag field values can be compared to the known values at the location:
