Pedometer Log Files

This is an early release of code to read data and program the Crivit Z31192 USB Pedometer. This version of the program does not have a GUI. It is run from the command line and generates CSV format output for importing into your favourite spreadsheet. Output is streamed to console by default, so you can pipe into a file if you wish for later processing.

There are things you need to know.

1) I accept no responsibility for loss of data or subsequent failure of your pedometer. I have written this program with no knowledge of the USB interface. The program appears to work OK, but I may have missed something. It is possible that this program could cause your pedometer to fail. I simply don't know enough about the format of data being sent to the pedometer and what each individual bit means - there is no documentation.

2) The history stored in the pedometer will be erased if you change from metric to imperial units or vice versa. If the program decides that the units are being changed, it will dump the data even if you don't ask for a dump.

3) The CSV output contains the step limit, weight and step length from the pedometer. There is only one copy of these in the pedometer. If you change these values, you should be made aware that that values that appear in the CSV may not be right for the day in question.

4) The code isn't pretty. I've just written it so get something up and running before my pedometer starts over-writing the saved history.

5) Run the program with no switches to get a command summary.

6) A GUI version is in development.
