New commit to the OMHE repository with GUI examples
Alan
Happy New Year! Its amazing how much you can get done over the
holidays when all the emails and phone calls come to a crawl. I've
been quite the code monkey as of late.
The new commit (revision 14) contains:
- blood pressure meter GUI example
- weight meter GUI example
- a basic omhe2json model
Note the blood pressure meter and weight meter applications only get
direct user input for now, but I'm preparing to support a couple
hardware devices so it will read the information directly form the
scale/meter. It amazing how little documentation there is on how to
do this so I'll write about how I did it here for all those life
hackers out there. I can only find one (inexpensive) brand that
outputs blood pressure and weight in the clear where I can get to it
over a serial connection. I'm still looking for a blood glucose
meter.
These GUI applications are capable of sending the OMHE messages via
twitter. Please take a look at the README.txt in the client_examples
folder for setup and configuration.
This should work out of the box on a Mac and with very little
configuration on Linux or Windows. There is no installer package for
these examples, so if any of you need help getting this working, let
me know. Later I'll build an installer. Everything is still a work in
progress. You'll need to get this code directly from the subversion
repository (which means you'll need a subversion client to download).
Sincerely,
Alan Viars
