In the last few weeks I have been programming the functionality of the matrices, condensed down the quantity of electronic components and developed code to simulate how each data point will progress over the course of a week, but sped up so that it cycles through in a few minutes.
The next steps for the hub include linking live data taken from Fitbit (activity tracker) to the device, so that the progress bars show current status of each designated measurement. I am also working towards having the encasing laser cut for a more polished look and feel. I will present the encasing in acrylic as well as wood; ultimately it will be up to the customer as to what materials, colors and data points they want for their own FitHub.
Customers will be able to customize their hubs on the FitHub website which I have sketched out wireframes for (seen below landing page example).
The site can be found here: http://thomaslawrie.com/fithub/. I am also working on developing how customers can place an order as well as providing as much information as they need about the product.
More details and photos from this past week’s progress can be found on the documentation blog here.
