Sensor Puck


1. Waht is the Sensor Puck?


The sensor puck demonstrates Silicon Laboratories optical sensor (Si1147M01 Si1147-M01) RH and temperature sensor Si7021 and low power MCU (EFM32G210 Gecko). The data is broadcast using a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
module and can be displayed on a mobile device (Apple iOS or Android) that supports the BLE protocol.
By using broadcast mode, a connection does not have to be established, making it possible to display the data
from several modules at the same time."

Microcontroller EFM32G210, ARM Cortex-M3


There is an App for iOS and Android, but I wanted to see the Sensor Puck data on my living room screen (Homienaut).

This python script helped me a lot to start receiving and converting the data from sensor puck: http://amperture.com/?p=23

Sensor puck sends the data in as advertising packet. This means in terms of Bluetooth Smart there is no connection required. The Sensor Puck is the broadcaster and the Homienaut is the observer.
I found this broadcast format specification very useful to determinate additional parameters of the sensor (ambient light, UV index, battery voltage and pulse rate).

2. Terminal Application


I wrote this code based on the implementation from http://amperture.com/?p=23

The Sensor Puck has two modes. Usually Sensor Puck is in enviromental mode. If you put a finger on the optical sensor, the puck switches into biometric.

My script delivers the following parameters.

Enviromental Mode

Humidity: 51.4 %
Temperature: 20.5 C
Ambient light: 1.5 Lux
UV index: 0.0
Battery voltage: 3.0 V


Biometric Mode

HRM state: Active
Pulse rate: 72 bpm

    line = proc.stdout.readline()    
    if ">" not in line:        
        hexarray = line.split()
        N = len(hexarray)
       
        os.system('clear')
       
        if N==14:            
            print "== Enviromental Mode ==\n"
           
            # Humidity uint16 deciprecent
            humidity = (int(hexarray[6], 16) << 8) + int(hexarray[5], 16)
            humidity = float(humidity)/10
           
            # Temperature int16 decidegrees (can be negative -> twos complement)
            temp = (int(hexarray[8], 16) << 8) + int(hexarray[7], 16)
            temp = float(temp)/10

            # Ambient Light uint16 lux/2
            amblight = (int(hexarray[10], 16) << 8) + int(hexarray[9], 16)
            amblight = float(amblight)/2
           
            # UV Index uint8 index
            uvidx = int(hexarray[11], 16)
           
            # Battery Voltage uint8 decivolts
            vbat = int(hexarray[12], 16)
            vbat = float(vbat)/10
           
            print u"Humidity: %.1f " %humidity + '%'
            print u"Temperature: %.1f \xb0C" %temp
            print "Ambient light: %.1f Lux" %amblight
            print "UV index: %.1f" %uvidx
            print "Battery voltage: %.1f V" %vbat
        elif N==18:
            print "== Biometric Mode ==\n"      
           
            # HRM State uint8 none
            hrmState = int(hexarray[5], 16)
            print "HRM state: " + hrmStateStr[hrmState]
           
            # HRM Rate uint8 bpm
            pulseRate = int(hexarray[6], 16)
            print "Pulse rate: " + str(pulseRate) + " bpm"
           
            # HRM Sample Array uint16[5] none
            # ...
        print " "



The Sensor Puck has two modes Enviromental and Biometric Mode.

If the finger is on the optical sensor, the sensor switches into Biometric Mode.

Depending on the mode the sensor broadcasts different data.





3. GUI Application


Additionally, I wrote a python script with GUI based using Tkinter to visualize the data.









Put your finger on the optical sensor of the Sensor Puck to measure the pulse rate.

Just in case you ask yourself the question, why I didn't used the escape char %% in my formated string constructions. Well, %% is the escape char for end of code in my Wiki. So I use + '%' + instead to be able to post this code here. But both solution deliver an equal result.
