I just started with the theramino software for gamma spectroscopy. Very nice job. Much easier to use than PRA. I could not get Becqmoni to even work. I really appreciate the English version and also the documentation. Nobody likes to write documentation. I am using gamma spectacular 2020 with 2″ NaI. I think your algorithms to extract the maximum resolution work quite well and I look forward to future development. My next step is to build a lead chamber to eliminate background as much as possible. Expect a donation from me.

Hello Livio.

Long ago a user had investigated the possibility of using Theremino with Windows phone applications.
In those days, with versions 7 and 8, It was not possible to use the USB to host.
Now I read that the version 10 You can do it, so the problem firmware/hardware is solved.
From the software point of view, You should recompile all windows based 10, the development system (Visual studio community 2015) is only for pc, tablets and phones.

This could open up new possibilities to the system theremino.
What do you think?

As always lately, my contribution is limited to the idea, why because of work unfortunately my time is really cheap.
Maybe someone else, reading this post, might do something.

Hello
Maurizio

I did a little’ by searching the internet to understand how to use Theremino on windows phone 10.
There are several sites that explain how great it is to enable the use of external applications to the store (the option is called side-loading). Few say how to load them.
From what I read, Unlike the PC version, Windows phone 10 cannot run exe files..
You can only use the xap files or. appx.
So it seems that it is necessary to recompile…
You have more detailed information?

Good morning, recently I became aware of your. hardware, and it seems brilliant and inspiring. I would like to, through Vs.. Theremino Voice control all electrical devices at home, (rolling shutters, lights, tv, etc), just that my knowledge is limited to VB. What I need in terms of hardware to do what I described? And’ possible to obtain some additional information on the operation of Theremino Voice?

Thank you in advance.

I work with the Apuan Seismological Observatory, I have the room I can see live on ion PC all data while if I link with a website the part LEFT of the screen no longer see but it remains only the chart.
Where is the problem?
Thank you

Interesting topic, I try to speak my mind.

In theory the right sensor is the torque meter, also called torque meter, measuring the torque applied between an incoming and an outgoing axis.
In theory, do we need a coax to insert between the pedal axle and sprockets front gear.
I think that the installation would require changing the bike frame, and certainly you have to spend a lot to buy it. It also increases the weight of the bike a lot.

A simpler option mechanically, but more complicated as the data connection, as it requires two contemporary wireless, you use two load cells, between each shoe and pedal, I think the system cited by Massimo.

An alternative, not very precise but certainly cheaper and simpler implementation, would be to pull the upper part of the drive chain (the part that is in tension during cycling) on a machine connected to a lever, held in tension by a spring so that the chain is thrust out from its natural path and straight. Something similar to the chain tensioner that's usually in the lower part, but suitable for much greater forces.
Reading the position of the lever with a sensor, would it be possible to have an idea of the applied force on the chain, and then the couple.
Although more traditional and less compact, Conceptually, it is the system used by torque.
To get a reading of the effective force on the pedals, It is necessary to consider the ratio actually used, which is the location of the Exchange, so you should put some position sensors for the front derailleur shifter side pedals.
In addition, You must make an adjustment of the behavior of the whole spring-handle-chain, because probably the slope of the lever is not linear with respect to the couple.

In all three cases cited, You must bring all this data to a microprocessor, analysing the readings very frequently, say at least a hundred times per second, and integrate them, because the force applied to the pedals changes continuously during rotation.
Doing the debt calculations, It may be possible to get an idea of the power output.
But at this point, I think the problem is not the accuracy of the ADC, but the capture rate of the ADC, to calculate the processor, and the memory required to hold all of the data if you want to get a chart to read later.

Ultimately, whichever method you use agree with Livio that get good accuracy is not easy.
Even with a good mechanical, There would always be work a lot on software, that should offset the inevitable non-linearities and behavioral differences on different routes. For example,, When you take a force on the transmission varies dramatically for a moment, creating instant readings that at a time tend to zero, and in the other they send the sensor out of range, and these readings can impact heavily on calculating the average, that has to be done properly.
Might be okay for comparative measurements between individual outputs (and even here the repeatability of the measurement would in my opinion be verified) but certainly not for absolute measurements.
However, I think Most don't want to get the data to be presented at a Research Institute, but just get an idea of the energy expended in its outputs, and maybe one of these methods to him would suffice.

Well in short…Maybe you expect some technical request…and instead ... I wanted to wish you a happy new year to all the team of theremino….Thank you for what you do…and thanks that you share with us and with the world…It's a good year…See you soon …Joseph
