[ANNOUNCE] 2 new apps
 

Hi All,

I have just released my first 2 apps to testing.

The first is a simple expansion on Saslers countdown timer that counts up reps at the same time. Inspired by my recent ACL reconstruction. http://maemo.org/packages/package_in.../sitrep/0.4-5/

The second app is for weight loss/diet tracking. It can be used to track your intake and weight loss over time out of the box. The food lookup and calcs are designed around the commercial weight loss program I to follow, but I have tried to abstract the proprietary information from the core app....as such the calculations and food lists need to be supplied as csv files. Instructions on how to create your own csv are on the wiki. http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...mel/act/0.3-2/

Feedback would be welcome,

(Package karma wouldn't hurt either :))

Thank you so much! Would the be a way to count how many reps you do using the accelerometer?

Thanks!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] 2 new apps
 

That's an interesting thought! How would you envision that working? You hold the phone in your hand while exercising?

Check out the video you will see what I envision and I'm sure what he does as well

its around time :35

any shot of these working for the diablo running tabs :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] 2 new apps
 

Thanks for the heads up ... I'm in Ireland and don't get to see NBA ads much :)

I'll give the accelerometer rep counting a shot. Might take me a while though.

Not sure about compiling for diablo. I don't have a device to test with, but I'll give it a shot too.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] 2 new apps
 

If you get it to compile, I'll try it I guess :) hope a re flash doesn't need to happen :) The accelerometer support will be a nice touch to the application, shame the n8X0 doesn't have it. Still would love to try them out though. The more applications for legacy devices, the better!

Hey shep I'm not sure what weight loss program your following but the one I am doing uses Fiber content of food to figure points also. Anyway to get that added as well? Also on the calc csv do I need to do a live for every possible Cal to Fat number? I know with programs like WW their is a formula that you use to calculate points seems that would be easier.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] 2 new apps
 

Thanks

I do pull-ups, pushups, and curl ups every night. I leave my n900 in my pocket and use my A2DP headphones. I would envision the user leaving it in their pocket. I would definately try to make an armband of some sort if the cloths i'm wearing isn't suitable for my phone.

Thanks!

Tried...failed :(

Sorry

Hi Andrew,

The WW formula is a) their copyright and b) only for the US version of WW. If there is a non proprietary formula I can use then please let me know and I'll add it.

As I designed this for the program I was on I only catered for 2 factors in the calc. I'll have a look at making the number of factors configurable and adding a third, but that might make the calc.csv matrix very large.

WW here supply a slider that you can use to take the Cals & Sat fat and get the points value for an item. How does this work with Fibre? Can you give me an example.

Regards,

Shep

New version of the Exercise Rep Counter released today.

Following tremendous community feedback I'm happy to announce the release of a new Exercise Rep counter today. Version 4.9 is in extras-testing now.

New features:

1. Multiple exercises can be preset and saved.

2. Exercise to perform can be selected from a dropdown on the front screen.

3. Each exercise can have 4 steps. Each step can have 2 parts,like lift then hold.

4. A different sound can be configured to denote the end of each step. Individual step sounds can be muted too.

5. Exercises can be carried out in 2 modes:
5.1 Manual where you push the button each time
5.2 Automatic which continues through from rep to rep until interrupted.

6. The app now installs to /opt/maemo

Not included in this release:
1. Acceleramoter support - I'm going to work on this next.
2. An overall mute feature.

Cheers for the feedback so far, and more feedback is always welcome,

Shep.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] 2 new apps
 

Is your application open source so I can make a US Version of it?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] 2 new apps
 

It sure is, the sources are on the garage site https://garage.maemo.org/projects/act/ but I'd rather not have multiple versions of the same app...

I'd be delighted if you want to develop it further though.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] 2 new apps
 

How are you planning on doing a US version then just have an option in your program

Re: [ANNOUNCE] 2 new apps
 

Yeah, I think that a suitable enhancement would be to add a setting that allows users to select the number of factors in their calculation and then look up the csv based on these factors.

Thinking about the formula you mentioned earlier maybe there's a way to allow users to enter their own formula? That would be a lot better than the 3 factor csv lookup and more precise too.

Anyhow, I welcome any contributions you may have.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] 2 new apps
 

I was going to suggest allowing uses to enter their own formula

Re: [ANNOUNCE] 2 new apps
 

There is a new version of the Exercise Counter app now.

This release brings accelerometer support in.

Please enjoy.

Feedback as always is appreciated/
