Few weeks ago, Movesense team got a phone call from the Finnish Squash Federation: ‒ We would want to show live heart rate on TV from squash players in the Finnish Championship tournament. Can you help with that? ‒ Sure, it should be doable. When is the tournament? ‒ Well, the finals where we would like […]
Movesense sensor firmware version 1.7 is now available for developers. It took a while to get it out as it includes major new blocks that took longer to implement than our ordinary six week cycle. In addition to a big amount of bug fixes and general improvements, the update includes two main new features: PC […]
The Movesense Sensor Plugin for Unity 3D, the leading game development and 3D visualization platform, can now be found in the official Unity Asset Store. This asset makes the integration of your Movesense sensor into a Unity application very fast and easy. The asset gives real time data (e.g., linear acceleration, gyroscope, magnetic field, heart […]
Version 1.0.3-beta of Plugin.Movesense is now available on NuGet and supports both Xamarin Android and Xamarin iOS. Xamarin is a set of tools and SDKs from Microsoft that allows developers using Visual Studio on PC or Mac to develop native apps for Android, iOS and Windows using C# and .NET. Apps can be developed from […]
When developing wearable tech and IoT solutions, there are a few important steps that need to be in place to succeed on the market: First, the actual measurement has to be practical, reliable and convenient for the user. Second, the measured data must be converted into meaningful insights and conclusions. This often requires processing and […]
The freshly released 1.3.0 Movesense sensor firmware facilitates the use of Movesense connector benefits. The Gear API now includes a System/States path that provides an automatic connect / disconnect event when the sensor is plugged to a Movesense smart connector or a heart rate strap. Instead of continuously polling the physical connection status, your app can now just […]
This week’s firmware update 1.2.0 doesn’t include new features but is a very important one for another reason: It includes a new bootloader and a new SoftDevice Bluetooth stack version 4.0.5 by Nordic Semiconductor. This brings a clear improvement to the BLE connection with many Android phones, including the popular Samsung Galaxy A3 that has caused […]
The 1.0.0 embedded software version for the Movesense sensor is now available for developers!

Also, the overall quality of the firmware has improved remarkably from the previous published version 0.9.1. What’s new: Support added for Inertial Motion […]
Hello Developers, last week we released the version 0.9.0 of the Movesense sensor firmware on Bitbucket. This release adds a number of important elements and improves the overall quality of the software. Key improvements include New sensor sample applications: s sens_output_test_app, hr_wakeup_app Cmake files now available for sample applications Release build of the Movesense library available New […]
Several Movesense projects are approaching a phase where data from actual motion is needed to develop the actual motion analysis. Here’s how you can collect sensor data with an iOS example app that you find on Bitbucket: Once you have access to the bitbucket repositories, please clone the movesense-mobile-lib repository. Open and configure the movesense-swiftapp.xcworkspace so that […]
