We have a big update:
It is finally possible to take One Shot Recordings of an action!
This is due to a new type of node added in the bodynodes wifi network: the Wifi SNode.
But let's understand why do we need it.
Most hosts have a limitation on the maximum number of active wifi connections on their hotspot. For example a Windows laptop can have a maximum 8 nodes connected to it.
This is a problem since a Fullsuit Bodynodes is composed by 11 nodes.
The first solution we adopted was to take multiple recordings of the same action with different sets of nodes. For example we would have the uppebody nodes and lowerbody nodes. After take the shots with the upperbody and lowerbody nodes, we would try to "sync" the data of the same action together.
A lot of time was necessary to take multiple shots and then try to post process the data.
But we knew we could do better and we decided to introduce SNodes.
Wifi SNodes act as intermediate nodes that create their own access point. Therefore they can collect motion info from other nodes connected to them (on top of their own sensor that they have). Then they send the data to the host.
The end result is finally having the possibility of taking one shot recording a fullsuit without to worry about any limitations on the host. This saves time in terms of recording an action and post process the captured data.

And that's all See you for the next update!
