This won’t be a trip to the lobby but rather a reflection on the state of sports sensors. If you don’t want to read all of this the short is [ … ]
V3–Power Consumption
The total power consumption doing a read to Serial over USB is approximately 35ma. This is much too high. That means a coin cell (CR2032 at 225mah) setup will likely [ … ]
V3–A little too sensitive?
Coming soon, current consumption measurements! Above is the raw data from the calibration test. I used the setup below with a few weights from my dumbbell that weight approximately 10lbs. [ … ]

V3 Progress
No pictures today. Just a bit of a text update. I’ve received all the components to complete the V3 circuit board. Surface mount soldering by hand is generally difficult, but the AP2 [ … ]
V3 New Circuit Boards
As you can see above the new circuit boards have arrived from Alberta Printed Circuit Boards. These guys have some of the quickest turn around I’ve seen – you do [ … ]
