EmotiBit_Biometric_Lib VS EmotiBit_FeatherWing

We in the EmotiBit community are always looking for enthusiastic community input in feedback! Since you mentioned that you skillset more aligns with Python, check out our python viewer on github. I would be happy to provide some sample data to help you understand EmotiBit data streams!

We often use our very simple python based EmotiBit DataViewer script written to view the parsed EmotiBit data https://github.com/EmotiBit/EmotiBit_Biometric_Lib, but you could also easily use Excel or anything else as the parsed data are in a simple CSV format.

Grab the latest DataViewer from our github Repo! Download the repository and follow the instructions to get started!

We also offer some tools which have been developed in python, for example our data viewer, uses anaconda as the package manager

Definitely. In fact, we have already implemented an example that achieves exactly that for our partners. It has not been merged into master yet, but you can check out the example here.

The Firmware Installer now installs a newer version of the EmotiBit firmware v1.9.0. The firmware now uses the latest JSON library.

We seem to have missed to add this new dependency to the automatic download list. I have created an issue to track this and we will fix it in the next release.

While EmotiBit software, firmware and cases are open source, the EmotiBit hardware is still closed source and the design files are not available to public.

If you find a handy algorithm, please post it in the EmotiBit forum, and if you modify the EmotiBit HR algorithm and wish to share it with the community, please submit a pull request in the EmotiBit FeatherWing or EmotiBit MAX30101 repositories on github.

Meanwhile, if adding a new technology is in your wheel-house, you may look at our github repositories to find a suitable place to fork for development! We always welcome input from our community!

Similarly, the latest firmware release can be found on the release page of our firmware repository!

So, we tweaked some things in the firmware and created a pre-release to help zone into the root cause of this issue. You can find the bin files of the new FW here.

Heart rate(among other derivative metrics like beat interval, Skin Conductance metrics etc.) was added to EmotiBit as a part of the firmware update v1.3.33. Your EmotiBit must be running FW v1.3.33+ to be able to record heart rate!

You may, however, tweak the code(FW) to initiate a record session from the device without software intervening in the middle. Since we have focussed on time-syncs(as mentioned in the FAQ), we don't yet have an example to help you out with this.
