I modified TI's sample code to log Accelerometer data x-y-z.
Thanks to ez430chronosnetand zedgraph for wonderful libraries.

i burnt your code in my chronos watch but there is no accelerometer feature there.. so what did u modified? i cannot see the changes from the default datalog frimware..

@romelemperado1

There are few files modified.

main.c line483, there is function call do_acceleration_measurement( ) added.

Few files in the logic directory are also modified such as datalog.c

Q: Have you configure the watch using the windows application that I wrote?

The windows application will set up the clock, datalog mode, and the sampling time.

Cheers!

Solar powered not sunday powered. :p I really ought to period read before posting using swype.

Oh wow what a cool toy for EEs. For the sake of function it'd be nice to see a sunday powered model with a light sensor (think low light + accelerometer for backlight activation). I'd also like this to meet iso 2281 200m and shock resistant ratings so this could really be considered as a functional hiker sport watch. Overall a VERY cool concept with unlimited potential with a little software.

Acceleration plot is wrong. It should be -128...+127 NOT 0...255. That is why there are so many jumps in the graph.

nice video > keep it up :D

hi runfel, after watching your video I just observed that u just add the code to include in data logging but there is no menu to show accelerometer mode in the watch.. thanks... its now clear to me..

@rudfel ah okay... so i need to use your application not the default control center..

i like to use your application but can u teach me a little on how to apply the .dll file using .net?? i dont know how to do that.. I think a little instruction would do on how to run your application.. thanks..
