When I got my new $27 EKG running a few days ago, I used a Windows program that came as a binary and that is no longer being supported. I decided I wanted to write my own GUI to read this, at least one more EKG channel (which requires another $27) and maybe accommodates the $99 EEG electronics that is available from the same company. I used the audio button (play/pause/stop) to control the data stream and connection with the EKG electronics. Right now, the only things that happens with this is that the numbers are added to the text box labeled “Data” and the numbers just scroll as they come in for the EKG electronics (fly by actually). The next thing I am going to do, though, is to plot the EKG signal as it comes in the area above the text boxes. I can already tell I am going to need to reformat my GUI to show the data in different ways and to add some configuration capability.
Day: May 4, 2016
I negotiated the next couple of days off when I was offered my current job so Lorena and I could fly to Phoenix to see Christian and attend a church event. Some of our old friends from San Diego will meet us there. We will have a chance to see old friends, visit and eat good food. Christian finished his last final for the semester yesterday, so he will be free to spend at least a little time with us. He is in the thick of his research right now and expects to remain that way for the next two and a half to three years. He needs to take seven more classes and they really just get in the way of what he is research.
