====== Tesla EKG ====== Tesla EKG is legacy piece of medical hw made in Czechoslovakia. On one side is connected to the subject via DIN5 port, on the other side sits Arduino mini which is used to emulate classic RS232 over USB for easy data dumping. Signal is tranmitted realtime as unsigned short integer. === Arduino firmware === #include #include int sensorPin = A0; int sensorValue = 0; ISR(TIMER1_OVF_vect) { sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin); Serial.println(sensorValue,DEC); TCNT1=65535-2500; } // the setup routine runs once when you press reset: void setup() { Serial.begin(38400); /* Normal timer operation.*/ TCCR1A = 0x00; // timer counter TCNT1=65000; // prescaler TCCR1B = 0x03; /* Enable the timer overlow interrupt. */ TIMSK1=0x01; power_spi_disable(); power_twi_disable(); } // the loop routine runs over and over again forever: void loop() { delay(1000); // wait for a second } === Computer dumper === == Python with fancy GUI == #!/usr/bin/python3 import pygame import random import time import serial import sys SCREENSIZE = XSIZE, YSIZE = (1360, 514) screen = pygame.display.set_mode(SCREENSIZE) x = 4 # background color bg = (200,200,200) # line color fg = (0,0,0) screen.fill(bg) ser = serial.Serial(port="/dev/ttyUSB0", baudrate=38400, timeout=1) yprev=0 # grid color gc = (150, 150, 150) def grid(x): ''' Draw horizontal grid ''' for i in range(1,500,50): pygame.draw.line(screen, gc, (x, i), (x,i)) from datetime import datetime from time import gmtime, strftime wow=datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S") l=open("./gsr-%s.txt"%(wow), "a") while True: line = ser.readline() s = line.decode("utf-8", 'ignore') wow=datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S") s = wow + " " + s sys.stdout.write(s) l.write(s) x = (x+1)%(XSIZE-2) try: y = int(line)/2 except: y=0 y = YSIZE-y # remove previous data pygame.draw.line(screen, bg, (x, 0), (x,YSIZE)) # draw red line pygame.draw.line(screen, (255,0,0), (x+1, 0), (x+1,YSIZE)) # draw grid grid(x) # draw data pygame.draw.line(screen, fg, (x, y), (x,yprev)) yprev=y pygame.display.update() == Command line dumper == Use minicom to dump the stream for future use (gnuplot, statistics, etc).
