More information on these sensors is located here. The document contains an overview of each sensor along with connectivity related information.
Since we have a limited set of devices, there will be a time limit on how long each team can use the device. See the section below for more details.
Sharing Program
Each team can borrow a device for 45 minutes (subject to change). Use this time to figure out how to integrate with the device and download its data.
Note, you will need to connect with these devices in different ways:
- directly over bluetooth
- indirectly through HealthKit/GoogleFit
- download raw csv data from the app or website
- integrate with the device manufaturers' cloud APIS.
Take this time to figure how to integrate with your device.
Once this has been determined, figure out a way to integrate the app with the deivce without having the device in hand. For example, if the device requires raw csv data, then create a sample csv file that you can test with. Or if the device integrates with HealthKit/GoogleFit, enter in sample data into HealthKit/Google Fit. Or use our CSV parsers in the mobile app to store data from the CSV in the phone.
What if my app requires real time data?
If your app/system requires the use of real time data from the device, try to simulate the data during the hackthon. You will have access to the device during the presentation/judging in the hackthon. However, make sure to have a backup plan in case if the device or connectivity fails. We all know this always happens during the time of a demo :)
