DIY with your DIY (Scale update II / App Beta)
submitted over 9 years ago by queuetueProud Sidebar Reader!

Scale work has been progressing, but slowly as I learn more about how professional scale firmware is designed, and find ways to improve it. One important lesson for you all : Digital scales lie. It's all about teaching the software how to make those lies consistent.

If anyone is really good at Fourier transforms, maybe I could bend your ear. The new load of hardware is in hand, and it's looking promising, but I still need to develop a better design for my ADC, noise reduction isn't a high enough priority for the stuff I'm running into.

Echoing the slow work on the hardware side, the software side has seen a big leap. I've now got an (android only, iOS we'll figure out later) app in limited beta - even before the scale integration is available, it's a pretty useful app.

I could use some more people interested in testing it. If you have a google play account and want to give it a spin and provide feedback, send me a PM with your details, and I'll sign you up for the beta.

If you want to get your hands on an early scale, helping me with the app beta would be a good way to get in the line early.

OK, I feel people are missing that if you want to beta test the app, you're going to have to PM me the email address you use for google play. :)

Does it say that in the sidebar? If it's not in the sidebar, I don't understand it.

Don't you realize by now that we all need a hand to guide us?

Wait, what's this all about? I must have missed the original post.

I'm down for testing! Not understanding computers won't allow me to help with the computer jargon.

I'd be really interested in helping test the Android app

I have experience with FFT, DCT, and wavelets, but in the context of image processing and compression. I also have access to people expert in Kalman filters. Can you elaborate on what you need help with? Don't know if I can help, but would love to know the issues you're encountering.

I'm going through a number of options on how to reduce noise. FFT might be a way forward, but it's a tough order at micro-controller scale.

Any plans to launch the app on the F-Droid repo? Im interested in testing, but don't use Gapps.
