Reinforcements

On thursday we met the two health care students who are joining the project, Ilona Wind and Tsjitsjo Vlieger. They were in Assen on wednesday already, but Marijn and I were both in Groningen at the time.
During the meeting everyone was introduced to each other.
A few days earlier Henk (Hartfalen project) and I looked over the possibilities of the harness to wear the sensor device. We used the designs from the previous teams, and our own thoughts to create a couple of other designs. One of the original designs had a single band around the chest, but we were concerned about the comfort while wearing it and weather it wouldn't leave it's position sinking down.

Two of our designs are a sort of harness, the 'chest-band' plus pieces over the shoulders, while the third is a complete shirt without sleeves. The shirt design is tested concept, a couple of companies created a shirt with sensores into the material of the shirt. An other interesting thing we saw (although it's not very relevant for the project) is Philips LumaLive. Textile combined with LED's to create interactive t-shirts. Sensores could be combined with textile in a simular way. The three designs are included beneath.

On wednesday the Plan van Aanpak was almost done. The content is mosly done, now it's a matter of checking for errors and performing a spellingcheck.

Combined forces

This week we combined forces with the 'Hartfalen en revalidatie' project, because there are a lot of simularities between both projects. In the beginning of the week we had a brainstorm session in Groningen to get the right mindset, and make sure everyone understood the current situation, and the previous projects. It turned out that we all had the same mindset all along, but we just weren't on the same page. 

Later this week we created a planning for the Plan van Aanpak. The Hartfalen guys worked with us here again to make sure we were on the same page again. It took about an hour to get it done, but now we have a pretty solid planning for the first 10 weeks. After 7 or 8 weeks we'll create the planning for the weeks 11-20. This way it is easier for the 'replacements' of Marijn en Herman (Hartfalen), and of we don't meet our objective the first 10 weeks, it's easier to adjust the planning for the second period.

The progress on the PvA is going steadily now, and it's supposed to be finished wednesday next week. That shoudn't be a problem.

Meanwhile, Marijn has been experimenting with the SunSPOT's. They are starting to do what he want's them to do. For now he is making some basic pograms to understand it better while I focus on the documentation. His program currently is based on the Structuur in de dag project, but the device plus the programming language are excactly the same as for Herken de Herhaling. 

The healthcare students we mentioned earlier are probably joining us at the end of next week. 

Where to find our files.

Hello everybody,

I have set-up a Sourceforge page for this project. (LINK)
This enables us to keep our code, documentation, forums, etc. all in one place, and makes it easier for other groups or people to get involved.
This blog will still be updated to get the story behind it all, offcourse.
Sourceforge makes it possible for "outsiders" to download code, documentation and join the project as well.


SVN
We do not only to post all our our code, agenda's and minutes on the blog, but on our public SVN- Repository that comes with Sourceforge as well.
The svn link to this project is : https://reconrep.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/reconrep

Please use a Subversion client like TortoiseSVN : HERE , to access the Repository previous mentioned.

Don't know how SVN works? Don't worry. Here is quick 10minute (max) tutorial for using TortoiseSVN (NOTE : fill in the link mentioned earlier instead of the one in this turotial):
http://www.mind.ilstu.edu/research/robots/iris4/developers/svntutorial/


That's all for now,

Marijn


P.S: For the groupmembers that want to make changes or post files:

Those that do not have an sourceforge.net acount, please contact me for a general censi account.

Getting started

This week we started the 'Herken de Herhaling' project (see post 'Welcome'). On monday we attended the kick off in Assen and received data from the previous group. 

The rest of the week was spent going trough the data, and creating a todo list, which will be used as a backbone for the PvA.

Thursdag we had a meeting with Jan Erik van Deijnen in Assen. After this we also received the data from the 'Hartfalen en revalidatie' project because there are a lot of points where the projects have a connection. The next day we had a meeting with Bryan Williams, he wasn't able to make the thursday meeting. Today we also started setting up a video connection to Groningen, to be able to have contact with al of the students at both locations.

With both the meetings behind us, we have a better picture of the project, and next week we'll work on the PvA.

Welcome!

Welcome to the new blog of "Herken de herhaling!"

We are the new project group for this project. At this moment this project is run by the folowing students:

• Marijn Oosterveld (Informatica)
  
• Jasper Venema (Human Technology)

Marijn will be a part of the project for 10 weeks, while Jasper will do 20 weeks.

In the next few weeks a couple of heathcare students will join the project. As soon as they do, you'll read it here.

Here's some starting information:
