convert polar byte array into txt files #7

Closed smkresearch closed 7 years ago

smkresearch commented 7 years ago

We want to use a polar A360 in our hospital. And as you can imaging we are not happy (and allowed to) to send de data of our patients into the Polar cloud. So I was very happy to find your software. I installed the software onto a windows system en was able to connect en read/dump the files from the connected device. I nerver used python before so as far I can understand you use the protocol buffers to decode the files when they are read from the device but how can I convert the files into a readable format ( e.g text ) so we can use then in excel ?

Hi,

This sounds great. You are right - I am using protocol buffers to decode data. I am not sure, which data you are interested the most. All protocol buffers can be find https://github.com/rsc-dev/loophole/tree/master/protocol_buffers/data.

Please sign in to gitter (https://gitter.im/rsc-dev/loophole) and send me PM. I am more than happy to help in this project.

Best regards Radek

I just had the same problem and I didn't want to upload my personal data to the cloud.

I use a raspberry pi with a tiny webserver to access my activity data just using a browser on any device in my local network. I also use loophole to fetch the data from the device. If you want to have a look at an example how to use loophole, visit https://github.com/fernsehkind/PALOR/tree/master/backend.

If you want to use excel you may have a look at https://github.com/mgravell/protobuf-net. With the definitions from https://github.com/rsc-dev/loophole/tree/master/protocol_buffers/data you can easily convert it to an excel file using any language supporting .NET.

Regards
