To Do

3rd Oct - 5th Nov

1. Binary Data Storage (aj)
2. Database Profiling (jc)
3. Plotting functionality - basic (jc)
4. App options (accuracy, delay rate etc) (jc)
5. Conceptual Designs (aj)

23 Sep - 7th Oct

1. setup repo on github
2. write magnetometer test - check values and freq of the measurement
3. save data : Phone: (timestamp, mag.|B|) GPS: (timestamp, GPS coords) Magnetometer (timestamp, |B|)
4. get more tech details from STRaND
5. data format ? SDK version ? interface ?

Additional:

• compare data storage latency
• profile code!
• work out what are the things like sensorManager.MAGNETIC_FIELD_EARTH_MAX/MIN, RAW_DATA_X/Y/Z, and other * sensorManager feautres
• understand android data formats
• calculate angle of sun based on time and GPS coords.
