MacSaber: Turn Your Mac Into A Jedi Weapon

20 May 2006 | By Ian in Apple, Development, MacSaber, Made by isnoop

UPDATE: Version 1.1 is now available.

Now that you’ve spent entirely too much money on your fancy sudden motion sensor equipped Mac laptop, I predict you’ll soon be swinging it around like a loon.

Introducing MacSaber. Using your Mac’s sudden motion sensor, this software turns your computer into a Jedi weapon almost worthy of taking on the real thing by making authentic lightsaber sound effects. It senses speed for the lightsaber movement sounds and acceleration for different levels of striking sounds.

This beta is not yet compatible with the motion sensors in older Mac laptops, but I understand you can move the window arond to get the idea.

Update: Thanks go to Sak from Lot23 for the fancy icon!

21 May 2006 | Gistybit Said:

This is great!

It would be cool if it could interface with the IR port, so when two macs’ IR port suddenly found each other, it would sound like two sabers meeting.
That way, you could have an opponent use a TV-remote control, and it would make a sound when the “sabers” met.

Umm, small question. That sensor is AFAIK there to trigger a system protect your harddisk from bumps and knocks. How many emergency parks can your harddisk handle before it goes wrong? Some jerk out there will screw up, at which point you may get sued so make sure your disclaimers are rock solid. Having said that, I really like the IR port idea above..

My wife really enjoys hearing me giggle like a madman! Thanks so much for this wonderful app.

I’d like MacSaber to have a separate volume control. I’d also suggest a sensitivity setting, so that we can avoid slinging our laptops into the wall. I enjoy the numeric feedback.

I walk around a lot at work with my laptop open and this thing will make people notice. Could you allow me to open or close the Saber from the dock icon?

I’ll be watching for the release version soon, my wife’s waiting w/ her credit card now…

Anyway, for those of you worried about HD problems, you shouldn’t. The sensor doesn’t just register sudden motions, it measures any kind of movement, even tiny ones. Only when it measures a movement that could damage the HD does it park the heads. So there is no worry.

To all you whiners – a little bit of waving around isn’t enough to emergency park the drive anyway – you’re fine. But a nice feature would be to push a button that would park the drive for you while you play, just to be safe.

The IR beam idea would never work, since IR ports don’t shoot in a concentrated beam like a laser. Even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to detect when they cross each-other.

I don’t know if this is the right place for feature request, and I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this earlier (sorry I don’t have time to read through every post), but here’s my feature request:

Can you make the screen turn into fluorescent colors (like the light sabers, and its intensity would change with motion/acceleration? For example, you would have a green glowing screen, then it would get brighter when you move fast and as it plays a “hit” sound. It would be nice to be able to choose what color you want (red, purple, etc.), also.

Thanks for the cool app!

Is there another way to check my motion sensors are working?

Open System Profiler and look under “Hardware” right after the Serial Number:
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled
Version: 1.0
MacSabre only works on a limited set of *Books at this time, although they don’t say which, and I would have assumed it would work on yours. It doesn’t work on mine:
Machine Name: PowerBook G4 15″
Machine Model: PowerBook5,6
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.67 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz

Mine doesn’t say which version of Motion sensor:

Machine Name: PowerBook G4 15″
Machine Model: PowerBook5,8
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.5)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.67 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.9.6f0
Serial Number: W85448RESX2
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled

And in MacSaber, although it makes the whooshing and bzzzzzzzzz sounds, the Roll: Left 1835 Tilt: -2070 – and these values don’t change at all. What about right roll?

And why, even though in System Profiler it says my SMS is enabled, does console.log keep recording “No motion sensor available”.

There must be something to grep somewhere that gives info on Roll and Tilt, which varies in the different ‘Books and that MacSaber gets wrong.

I want my MacSaber working :(

[...] Autor: Falko Keller – 13. Juni 2006 Seit einiger Zeit kursieren lustige Tools im Internet, mit denen sich die Funktion der “Sudden Motion Sensoren” der neuen Macbook Pro etwas miÃŸbrauchen lassen. Eigentlich sind diese dafÃ¼r gedacht, die Laptops bei ErschÃ¼tterungen vor einem eventuellem Festplattencrash zu schÃ¼tzen. So bewegt sich der Lesekopf der Festplatte bei einer ErschÃ¼tterung etwas von der Festplatte weg. Mit der kostenlosen Software “MacSaber” wird der Sensor fÃ¼r einen ganz anderen, eher unterhaltenden Zweck genutzt: Das Apple-Notebook reagiert dann bei Bewegung mit den typischen Sirr- und Brummlauten eines Lichtschwerts. Ob das von einer Fangemeinde programmierte Wasserwaagenwidget wirklich sinnvoll ist, sei auch dahin gestellt. Eine vielleicht etwas interessantere Variante, den Sudden Motion Sensor auszulesen ist vielleicht diese hier: Smackbook bei You Tube. Dabei wird per Klapps auf das Laptop der virtuelle Desktop gewechselt. Das Programm kann hier heruntergeladen werden. Kategorie: Digitale Medien | [...]

AuÃŸerdem ist Software einrichte, ja selbst alte Emails importieren super einfach. Im Gegensatz zu meinen Windows-Start-Erfahrungen ist Mac OS X wirklich ein OS nach dem Motto “einschalten und loslegen”.

its faken annoying everyone bashes msft for bundling IE and WMP. but nobody has problem when apple forces people to buy overpriced hardwares from apple. even when they force people to buy music from itunes and ituens only. apple should be tried in crminal court before microsoft. at least MSft is not forcing people.

30 July 2006 | MacSaber and Sudden Motion Sensors at Elliot Lee Said:

[...] Some new Apple Mac laptops and IBM Thinkpads have sudden motion sensors inside, which park the hard drive heads in the event of a fall which protects your data from being damaged. It’s being used for all sorts of things, including a way to turn your Mac into a Jedi weapon. It’s surprising how many fun uses for the sensors there are. Why not have an actual input device designed for this sort of thing? The acceleratometers (gyroscopes) can’t be too expensive now that Apple and IBM are including them in nearly all laptops. I guess that’s what Gyration has tried to do, but those are used just as mouse pointers. You need fun apps like these before it’ll take off. This is a good idea from a Slashdot comment. Maybe we should just start putting in different types of random sensors in laptops that can pull data from the emediate environment and see what the hackers can do with them. Some suggestions: [...]

16 September 2006 | SigmaX Said:

Danny:

The Macs have a built in motion sensor — I believe it’s to calibrate HD usage and the like around movement, to avoid little mechanical accidents.

This app just taps into that sensor, and adds sound affects. So yes, if you want it to sound like a light saber, you have to download “something.”

[...] The wizzy motion sensors makes for some great fun. The practicality in it is that the MBP can park it’s hard disk, preventing data loss, if it’s dropped. Of course, practicalities are as nothing when compared to silliness and fun. Mac Saber has to be probably the most useless app ever (it makes silly sounds), but surely and paradoxically, the best thing a geek could ever want. Dude. I’m a Jedi. With a Mac Book. Bring. It. On. sorry. Got all distracted. The other is Seismac, which shows shudders and movements as detected by the sensors. Now, when I was a kid, we used to occasionally draw charts like this sat in the back of the car – running a pen over a piece of paper as the car moved. We saw it on Why Don’t You? or somesuch, and it amused my brother and I immensely. So now my computer does it. Marvellous.
