Experimenting with a tty Connection for R I presented twice at this years useR!. The first was a regular talk on the tty connection patch for R. The talk went smoothly, despite a live demonstration using the DLP-232PC data acquisition module (datasheet). The slides for this presentation are here: ... [Read more...]

I'm putting together my presentation for useR! 2011 titled "Experimenting with a tty connection for R". Hence, I've updated the tty connection patch to work with R versions 2.13.0 and 2.13.1. And, instead of re-listing the patch files and re-writing instructions on their application, I've devoted a small portion of my Code page ... [Read more...]

I connected the instrumentation amplifier described in an earlier post to a piezoelectric transducer (buzzer) and made recordings at 5000 gain. The plot below shows 1000 such measurements over 1.0 seconds. There is a 4.0 second (at 1000Hz) sample of the data here piezo.csv. There is a clear sinusoidal signal in these data ... [Read more...]

In an earlier post, I described some ECG signal processing. In fact, these recordings were from my own heart, and I had collected them using a homemade ECG. The following is a repost from my old site describing the device. I assembled an instrumentation amplifier to measure cardiac potentials (i.... [Read more...]
