Overview
This page contains information about the on-going projects in human activity recognition at the University of Washington.
Platforms
The current platform that we're using consists of an embedded processor component, called an iMote2, and a sensing component called the MSB2 (Multi-modal Sensor Board). The combination of the iMote2, MSB2, and the system software is often referred to as the MSP (Mobile Sensing Platform).
In addition to the MSP we've also been using a number of cell phone platforms to provide wide area communications, display, local interaction capabilities, and additional sensors.
- iMote2 - The Linux embedded computational platform that forms the heart of our wearable sensing platform
- More information about the iMote2 and the Linux software can be found at the PlatformX wiki
- Current system images
- iMote2 How To's
- GPRS - Information on using a cell phone's GPRS connection on the iMote2 over Bluetooth.
- iMote2 GPIO pins/Alternate functions
- Sensor Boards - A brief description of the sensor boards that are being used
- MSB2/LSB Firmware - Current firmware images and protocol information

Phone Platforms
In addition to the embedded platforms we are also using serveral types of smart phones.
- Nokia N80
- Nokia E70
- Nokia Phone Codes - These codes can be used to retrieve useful information about your phone such as serial numbers, and MAC addresses.
- Nokia Phone Development - What you need to know to build apps on the Nokia phones.
