Yesterday I just knew that my iPhone has been tracking my steps since I updated to IOS8. My Average step is 8000+, what about yours? 🙂

OSX Yosemite Handoff Feature
Little bit research on how to use Handoff feature on OSX Yosemite:
In order to use Handoff Feature from OSX Yosemite:
1. On Mac, go to System Preferences -> General, and check the box “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices”
2. On your iCloud devices (iphone), go to settings -> general -> Handoff & Suggested Apps, and Enable Handoff
3. On Mac, open Facetime and go to preferences. Check the “Allow iphone calls” box
4. Make sure bluetooth and Wifi turned on (both Mac and iphone)
5. Mac and iphone must be logged in with same iCloud account.
6. Must be on same Wifi network.
P.S. Look like that you need to check if your Mac support that by checking at System Report, and under Bluetooth Category LMP version needs to be 0x6. If anything lower than that, most likely handoff feature will not work.
GSR Testing
Got my GSR sensor for Seeedstudio. I don’t know how it works, so I will just copy the product description here:
“GSR, standing for galvanic skin response, is a method of measuring the electrical conductance of the skin. Strong emotion can cause stimulus to your sympathetic nervous system, resulting more sweat being secreted by the sweat glands. Grove – GSR allows you to spot such strong emotions by simple attaching two electrodes to two fingers on one hand, an interesting gear to create emotion related projects, like sleep quality monitor.”
I also created an app to visualise the data from GSR sensor. Here is the Demo Video.
SocketIO and IOS
Today I created an IOS app and web app that would allow a host to change client’s background color. A Demo video is here:
That’s the first IOS app I did with Swift. Client app (both native and web) used websocket to connect to the socketIO server. The Host app was a list of button with Colors, and whenever the button was clicked, the client app would receive an event and updated the background color of the client app.
