Resources, info, and tips

[Oren Lederman]

Hi all, since I get occasional questions about where to start, and where various resources can be found, I decided to put everything in one place here:

Code and other resources about the badges themselves:

• https://github.com/HumanDynamics/openbadge - 
• Main badge repo, with pointers to the other repositories.
• Include info on how to compile and program the badge
• Firmware - https://github.com/HumanDynamics/openbadge/tree/master/firmware/nRF_badge/data_collector
• Circuit design - https://github.com/HumanDynamics/openbadge/tree/master/eagle/nRF_badge/Badge_03_v6
• Latest Gerber files - https://github.com/HumanDynamics/openbadge/tree/master/eagle/nRF_badge/Badge_03_v6/export_20180201
• Badge hub. Written in Python, and designed to run on Ubuntu or Raspberry pi - https://github.com/HumanDynamics/openbadge-hub-py
• Badge server. A backend server for collecting data from the hubs. Also used for managing your badges, check their health, etc - https://github.com/HumanDynamics/openbadge-server

Code for analysis:

• Main analysis package. Used for reading raw data saved on the server - https://github.com/HumanDynamics/openbadge-analysis
• Some analysis examples. https://github.com/HumanDynamics/openbadge-analysis-examples
• An comprehensive example for analyzing data from an actual project. Based on my PhD dissertation - https://github.com/HumanDynamics/rhythm-public-analysis-deltav18-anon . Some additional info here - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rhythm-badges/gSrMX_-KgnE

Other good resources:

• Tips on setting up the system in a real deployment- https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rhythm-badges/EuSOFFfvmKs
