Blog Post 6: Final Project Update
Throughout this semester, Zane and I have continuously pushed to refine our idea and create a tangible, marketable product that will not only help people but inspire them. With DataLift, we believe we are on the way to creating such a product. Using a Particle Photon, DataLift is able to quickly and efficiently send data points to a web server, which again relays the information to our front end, allowing users to see and track rep count in a specific direction. This is done using SSE or Server-Sent Events, and figuring this technology out required much time and energy. What we have currently accomplished is the ability to transmit, record, and visualize data from an accelerometer. The repetition counting has probably been the most difficult thing to accomplish. It requires using an algorithm to accurately track the users up and down movement. In the future, this is something that needs a lot of work for this project to be feasible. The steps that are left in the proof...
