Hi there,
In week seven's lab, we looked through more sample code to try to get a working program together. The sample code that came with the new sensor contained code for calculating peaks and troughs of a heart rate. We worked on incorporating that into our existing program.
We also decided to switch back to the sensor that straps onto both wrists and leg. While the new sensor seemed to work better in terms of signal clarity, it was too difficult to work with. The old sensor provided better mobility when it was worn and we felt more familiar with it.
We got antistatic bags this week, covered the device in them, and packaged the whole thing in a waist pack. The LCD module is mounted on the outside of the waist pack so the user can see the status of their heart rate. The way that the device is placed in the waist pack also lets the user plug it into a computer without having to open the main pocket.
In the next couple of weeks we hope to complete the program and get the device to detect abnormalities in the user's heart rate. We're also working on a presentation and the final report for week ten.
