Hexiwear sensor's info and status (Normal or Alarm)

This file is the example of the information that Hexiwear send to the Laptop. According with an equation on the accelerometer data, the code running on Hexiwear sends "Normal" or "ALARM" where "ALARM" means that the elderly could be falling.
The equation i ssimple, I got the module of the vector of the coordinates x, y and z and if this vector result is 1 or more, it indicates that one gravity movement was reached (in any direction). this behavior could hurt the elderly.

Code

Hexiwear Code to read sensors and send through Serial.

C/C++
It's a simple code just to get information from some sensors of Hexiwear and send it through serial to the laptop. Future implementation will be send it using Bluetooth.

Python code to read serial port of the laptop to get the sensors information from Hexiwear

Python
This is a simple Python code that reads serial port of the laptop, do some math and determine through it if the elderly is in normal behavior or falling or etc.
import serial

ser = serial.Serial(
    port='COM5',\
    baudrate=9600,\
    parity=serial.PARITY_NONE,\
    stopbits=serial.STOPBITS_ONE,\
    bytesize=serial.EIGHTBITS,\
        timeout=0)

print("connected to: " + ser.portstr)
#this will store the line
seq = []
count = 1

while True:
    for c in ser.read():
        seq.append(chr(c)) #convert from ANSII
        joined_seq = ''.join(str(v) for v in seq) #Make a string from array

        if chr(c) == '\n':
#        	print("Line " + str(count) + ': ' + joined_seq)
        	print(joined_seq)
        	seq = []
        	count += 1
        	break


ser.close()

Information from sensors example.

Plain text
This file is a capture of the Hexiwear serial data. It has many information, but, for now, the most important is the fall information. I did a simple equation where I got the module of the vector from the accelerometer using the info from its coordinates. If this vector is equal to one or more, it means that the elderly make a strong movement in any direction and this could indicate a fall or a risky situation. The code in Hexiwear detect this and send an "ALARM" signal that could be read by laptop and send the alerts to the respective person (relatives, elderly care and etc.)
