FIRMWARE

  • MySignals HW: The MySignals Hardware Development Platform includes a high level library functions for a easy manage the 16 sensors integrated in the board. The processor memory is limited so you can not use all the features at the same time. It include several examples of applications combining diferent wireless technologies and libraries to control the different modules. You can work with it using the Arduino IDE.
  • MySignals SW: The MySignals Software Development Platform includes a high level firmware that control all the features of the device at the same time. You can interactuate with the device through a graphic tactile interface in order to choose one of the 3 monitorization modes:
    • Standalone: MySignals does not send data to a mobile phone or cloud (no connectivity at all), there is only a single (or many) MySignals device isolated. With this mode the MySignals device will store data for a period of time and it cannot be sended to nowhere.
    • Smartphone Mobile APP: MySignals device will send data to the mobile App in case the BLE mode is enabled. In this case the App will upload the data to the Cloud. The App can also be used to navigate through the users history at the Libelium Cloud.
    • Web Server Application: MySignals is not paired with a mobile phone but it has internet connection. MySignals device will store data in its system and then it will send data to libelium's cloud service. MySignals Web Server Application is a real-time large-dataset viewing and plotting tool and has built-in data analysis functionality. It is very user-friendly and contains many powerful built-in features.

1.1 General and Safety Information

The following list shows just some of the actions that produce the most common failures and warranty-voiding cases.

Failure to comply with the recommendations of use will entail the guarantee cancellation.

Software:

  • Update firmware version only using Libelium Smart Devices App. If a different Software is used, MySignals can be damaged and can become unresponsive. This use will void the warranty.
  • Use only MySignal Web Server Application or MySignals Mobile APP in order to configure and setup your account and device.
  • Do not unplug any connector while uploading code. MySignals can become unresponsive. This use will void the warranty.
  • Do not connect or disconnect any sensor or connector while MySignals is ON. MySignals can become unstable or unresponsive, and internal parts can be damaged.

UPDATE: In February 2017 we have released new version of MySignals. Using this new version you can connect or disconnect any sensor while MySignals is ON.

If the ID of your device is 109 of higher you are using the new model with this new feature.


Hardware:

  • Do not handle black stickers seals on both sides of the enclosure (Warranty stickers). Their integrity is the proof that MySignals has not been opened. If they have been handled, damaged or broken, the warranty is void.
  • Do not open MySignals in any case. This will automatically make the warranty void.
  • Do not handle the four metallic screws of MySignals.
  • Do not submerge MySignals in liquids.
  • Do not place nodes on places or equipment where it could be exposed to shocks and/or big vibrations.
  • Do not expose MySignals to temperatures below -10ÂşC or above 50ÂşC.

    • Update regularly the MySignals Firmware to the last version. Go to the section “MySignals Firmware” of the guide for more info.

    • Update regularly the version of the Android / iOS App.

2Âş- IMPORTANT: DO NOT UNPLUG MYSIGNALS WHILE IT IS BEING UPGRADED OR IT MAY BE RENDERED USELESS! (THIS CASE IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY).

3Âş - Do not connect or disconnect any sensor or connector while MySignals is ON. MySignals can become unstable or unresponsive, and internal parts can be damaged. Connect all the sensors that you want to use with MySignals and then turn it ON.

UPDATE: In February 2017 we have released new version of MySignals. Using this new version you can connect or disconnect any sensor while MySignals is ON.

If the ID of your device is 109 of higher you are using the new model with this new feature.


4Âş - MySignals includes a stick to navigate through the menu options of the touchscreen. Please use it for a correct function of the device interface.



5Âş - The Firmware of MySignals SW manages all the sensors at the same time and monitors the response of the screen and the touchscreen. For this reason sometimes during the measurement of different sensor like blood pressure or other wireless sensors it will be able to perform one action at the same time, you have to wait it to finish before being able to navigate or interact with the screen again.

6Âş - At any time you can Activate / Deactivate the synchronization of the information being sent to your Cloud Account by just pressing the Cloud icon on the top right corner.



7Âş - How can I see values older than one month in my Cloud account?

MySignals Cloud Web Service (section 5.2, page 25) allows currently to see the complete historical data of any of the users.

If you want to access to this data, you can also use the Cloud API to get the sensor values of a member.

If you have any doubt just write a post in the MySignals forum.

8º - In the “Detail view” only information coming from that specific sensor is received and sent to the Cloud. If you want to receive and store information coming from many sensors at the same time you should use the “General view” screen.

9Âş - In February 2017 we have released new Firmware, Apps and Cloud versions that allow to record continuous waves and send them to the Cloud (in Server Mode). You can record up to 30 seconds of the data measured in detail mode of ECG, EMG, Snore and Airflow.

10Âş - In the General view the update time to the Cloud is 20s. In the Detail view is 10s.

11Âş - BLE sensors are not compatible with the mobile App for the moment, however you can use them in standalone and web server mode.

12Âş - In order to make the MySignals App send to the Cloud you need:

    · Have one Department created

    · Have one user created and linked to one Department

    · In the App to to Users, click on one and press "Select this user"

Make sure the "Cloud" icon is active (upper right corner of the App)

13Âş - Connect the ECG Electrodes to the ECG sensor cables before placing them in the user body.



14Âş -The ECG signals need to be measured with the user lained back on the bed or stretcher.

15Âş - In order to keep the MySignals enclosure clean and without any mark we recommend to place it inside the plastic bad and put the chamois cloth provided or any other protector desired on top of it before closing the bag.

16Âş - In case you placed MySignals into the kit without the protection and got it maked in black use a common nail-varnish remover (with no acetone on it) along with a rag to clean it.

3.2 FAQ

Can MySignals HW work against the Libelium Cloud server?

    Yes. You can use it always sending the data via the Android / iOS App. Web server connection mode is not yet implemented.

Can MySignals work against our own cloud or a third party server?

    Yes. You can send the information coming from MySignals to a third party Cloud server by two ways:

      1Âş - Migrating the information stored in the Libelium Cloud to a third party Cloud server easily using the API Cloud provided

      2Âş -Using directly the WiFi radio (HTTP, TCP/IP, etc). This last option just for MySignals HW.

Can I use all the sensors at the same time?

    In the case of MySignals SW, yes you can. In the case of MySignals HW the Arduino processor is limited, so you can not manage all the sensors, wireless communication and others features at the same time.

    5.2 MySignals Mobile APP

    The Bluetooth Low Energy module integrated may perform direct communications with iPhone and Android devices.

    We have developed the application MySignals, for both iPhone and Android platforms. The application may be also downloaded from the official App markets for free.

    Official app markets URL’s:



    NOTE: In order to make the MySignals App send to the Cloud you need:
    • Have one Department created
    • Have one user created and linked to one Department
    • In the App to to Users, click on one and press "Select this user"
    • Make sure the "Cloud" icon is active (upper right corner of the App)

    MySignals device will send data to the mobile App in case the BLE mode is enabled. In this case the App will upload the data to the Cloud. The App can also be used to navigate through the users history at the Libelium Cloud.


    Also consider this staightforward advices before using the application with the Cloud Service:

    NOTE: BLE sensors are not compatible with the mobile App for the moment, however you can use them in standalone and web server mode.

    5.2.1 Register a device with a license

    This is a simple and internal process that took place on the mobile application. First of all make sure you have a valid cloud credentials because without these credential the user is not able to login on cloud or mobile application, among other cloud services.

    Before start make sure your MySignals device is active and it is set to bluetooth mode. Open the mobile application and enter your credentials, make sure you have read and accept the terms and conditions and press login button, if you have problems on login the system will warn about the problem:

    After login, if you have already selected a MySignals device skip this paragraph, if not continue reading. If the user had not selected a MySignals device to connect, after login, a popup message will prompt with a list of available MySignals device to connect

    Once the user selects a MySignals device the registration of a new device with a license is a transparent process for the user. After a properly bonding between the mobile application and the MySignals device the registering process starts.

    First, the mobile application looks for the MySignals device in the cloud, if this device is not registered it creates a new device for the user, if this device already exists it update the information for this device. The account can only register one MySignals device. This process can be represented with the following scheme:

    5.2.2 Encryption, bonding

    In older Bluetooth standards, the user needed to pair with a remote device before connecting it. On the Bluetooth 4.0 standard, the user can connect to other remote BLE devices without any pairing process. Even the user can use advertisements to send a few amount of data, as it has been described in previous sections. However, these processes are not secure.

    The Bluetooth 4.0 standard uses AES-128 link layer encryption. The encryption can be used in the connection processes to make them secure. The encryption of the connection can be started using a dedicated command. providing the handler of the established connection. The handler is usually zero, unless other connections are enabled.

    On the other hand, the bonding processes are the long term storage of encryption keys used by each BLE module. Keys are defined as 6 digit numbers with a range from 000000 to 999999. Starting a connection with bonding will imply next steps:

    1. MySignals SW advertises
    2. MySignals APP detects advertisements of MySignals SW
    3. MySignals APP starts a connection with MySignals SW
    4. MySignals APP request bonding
    5. Both nodes exchange keys: bonding key appear in MySignals SW TFT screen.
    6. Both nodes store keys for future usage

    5.3 Libelium Smart Devices App

    Libelium Smart Devices App is the Java application used to upgrade the FW of MySignals SW.

    • The Linux version is a .tar.gz file, which should be familiar to most Linux users. Download the file to your home directory, then open a terminal window, and type:

        • tar xvfz Mysignals_Updater-xxxx.tgz

    6. Data Access

    MySignals SW includes three different modes to access all the information gathered from the sensors:

    • Standalone Mode: MySignals does not send the data. It is just visualized on the TFT screen.
    • Bluetooth Connection Mode: MySignals send the data to a mobile phone using the BLE connection. The data is gathered an visualized by the MySignals App. Then if the Cloud option is enable, the data will be also transferred to the user's account at the Libelium Cloud.
    • Server Connection Mode: MySignals uses the WiFi connectivity to send the data directly to the Libelium Cloud.

    In February 2017 we have released new Firmware, Apps and Cloud versions that allow to record continuous waves and send them to the Cloud (in Server Mode). You can record up to 30 seconds of the data measured in detail mode of ECG, EMG, Snore and Airflow.

    6.1 MySignals Standalone Mode

    This mode consists on displaying the information from the sensors directly on the MySignals screen without any other external device. All you need is to navigate through the menus on the screen following this instructions.

    NOTE: MySignals includes a stick to navigate through the menu options of the touchscreen. Please use it for a correct function of the device interface.

    6.1.1 Using Standalone Mode

    First of all power the device with the Libelium MySignals power supply.

    To access this mode you must leave unchecked both options in the setup menu: Bluetooth Connection or Server Connection. Click directly on “Start Monitoring” button.

    Then you will enter in “Select Sensors” screen where you must select all the sensors that you want to measure. Selected sensors are in blue color and unselected sensors are in gray color.

    Once you have completed your selection you must click on “Data” button, which you can find at the left end of the bottom toolbar.

    In “Data” screen you will be able to see in one glance the main information of all sensors at once. The selected sensors will be green and sensors are not selected in orange.

    You can see in this screen a color code in the sensor logos:

    • Green: It is a real- time value measured in MySignals Software

    • Orange: It is a old value measured in a previously connection of some time ago.

    • Grey: It is that the sensor is not connected.

    If you are interested in viewing all the information in one particular sensor simply you have to click on it to enter a detail sensor view. On this screen you can see a graph of one of the sensor values and all the detailed information on a list view.

    In February 2017 we have released new Firmware, Apps and Cloud versions that allow to record continuous waves and send them to the Cloud (in Server Mode). You can record up to 30 seconds of the data measured in detail mode of ECG, EMG, Snore and Airflow.

    You can use this new function in Server Mode using detail mode. Use the Record button in order to start a new record.

    Note that you will not see the wave in the screen during each record. You will see a message in the graph zone. Here you can see the duration of the record. Press Stop button when you want to stop the record. If you do not press this button the record will finish after 30 seconds.

    With the record finished you can choose between saving this record in the cloud or cancel it.

    You will see all the information about the upload to the cloud at the bottom of the screen (text message zone).

    After a correct upload you will see the date of the file saved. Then you can see this new raw data file in the Web Server or in the Mobile APP.

    At any time you can navigate back to return to the previous screen by clicking the arrow on the top left of the screen.

    NOTE: The Firmware of MySignals SW manages all the sensors at the same time and monitors the response of the screen and the touchscreen. For this reason sometimes during the measurement of different sensor like blood pressure or other wireless sensors it will be able to perform one action at the same time, you have to wait it to finish before being able to navigate or interact with the screen again.
    • Red color indicate that you can not use the touchscreen in this moment. So try to keep the zone pressed until you receive a visual response on the tft.
    • Green color indicate that you can use the touchscreen as usual.

      • There is available too in the bottom of the screen a black zone where mysignals will write text indications about the actual state of the device.

    6.2 MySignals Mobile APP

    The Bluetooth connectivity may perform direct communications with iPhone and Android devices without the need of an intermediate router.

    First of all you must download MySignals app in your store. The app is available for Android and iPhone.

    NOTE: BLE sensors are not compatible with the mobile App for the moment, however you can use them in standalone and web server mode.

    6.2.1 Using Bluetooth Connection Mode

    Below and to avoid any connection problems we recommend restarting the Bluetooth on your device if you already had it previously activated. We recommend doing this every time you open the app again. In order to do this go to Settings in your device, then Bluetooth and turn it off and on.

    Sometimes you will need to configure the connection with MySignals using the Android or iOS settings.



    The first time a user starts MySignals application, it will be needed a setup assistant to configure all aspects related to MySignals configuration like user name, password (already set in our back end), profile, WiFi settings and MySignals selection. The maximum number or characters that you can use in this settings are 20. We will create a setup assistant with straightforward screens with all field and information to guide the user through this assistant.

    This assistan in needed if you want to use Server Connection Mode and MySignals Web Server Application because MySignals Mobile APP send all the WiFi network, user account and configuration information using Bluetooth Connectivity.

    NOTE: In order to make the MySignals App send to the Cloud you need:
    • Have one Department created
    • Have one user created and linked to one Department
    • In the App to to Users, click on one and press "Select this user"
    • Make sure the "Cloud" icon is active (upper right corner of the App)

    The first time you open the APP you will see some configuration screens:

    -First of all in the "Login” screen enter your user and password. In case you don't have an username or password please contact our Sales Dep. at sales@libelium.com

    An account can have one or more MySignals devices, this is why an user can purchase more than one device. Then we must create a MySignals Manager profile to provide a list of devices and perform some basic operation on them.

    This Manager Profile can add/delete/modify/select an MySignals device. This information should be synchronized with cloud to get all devices up to date for a given account.

    As each MySignals is tied to each single user, we should download a list of devices each time an user logs in, this way we do not mix MySignals from different accounts.



    It is very important that you read carefully and accept the Terms and Conditions of our application.



    The mobile application adds a new feature to warn the user when a new update is available. On the login screens will show a popup window with that takes the user to the stores to perform the update, the warning will show on each new release and it will be mandatory to update the mobile application to keep on using it.

    There is also a new feature on the login screens, now the user can get messages to advice about the quota of his account or incorrect password among other messages. The feature can warn about many erratical situations, these are the common ones:

    • Incorrect account password.
    • Expired license.
    • Application limit request reached.
    • Application over maintenance.
    • Other errors.

    Now we move to the next screen "Profile” and enter our Manager Profile personal info.



    Go to the next screen “WiFi”. Here you will need to provide your WiFi SSID name and your WiFi password in order to transmit this information to the MySignals device (this way it will be able to connect to the WiFi AP directly). This is the only way that MySignals can connect to the WiFi network in your home if you are also interested in using the Server mode.



    -Once arrived to the last configuration screen, before doing anything here in the phone app, you must power on MySignals, select “Bluetooth Connection” on configuration screen and click “Start Monitoring” button.

    When you see “Not Connected” message on the screen and a gray Bluetooth icon on MySignals screen, you can click on “Search for MySignals” in you phone app.



    Select your MySignals device on the list. Now if the bluetooth connection is working well, you will have to enter in your phone the code that you will see in blue color figures in MySignals screen. If you are using Android please check your notification center if your phone doesn't ask you to enter the code automatically.




    -The next screen is “Sensors”, where you must select all the sensors that you want to measure. Selected sensors are in blue color and unselected sensors are in gray color.


    MySignals device will send data to application using two modes:

    • In General mode the MySignals device will send all values for all sensors, this is used for main sensors screen where we show a list of selected sensors by the user with its values.

      • You can see in this screen a color code in the sensor logos:

      • Green: It is a real- time value measured in MySignals Software

      • Orange: It is a old value measured in a previously connection of some time ago.

      • Grey: It is that the sensor is not connected.

    • Regarding to Detail mode, it is used when the application shows a detailed view from sensor, MySignals will only send data for this single selected sensor. The application will send a sign to MySignals to switch on and off this mode.


    There is a new tab on detail screen for ECG, EMG, Airflow and Snore sensors. This tab allows the user to display raw data recorded from MySignals device (in Server Mode). You can record until 30 seconds from MySignals device and show the recorded data on raw data tab, this tab is placed on the top right of the screen.

    On top right, you can see the ECG rate, EMG rate, Airflow rate or Snore rate. Above the graph, you can see the graph time for X axis, in this case the graph was divided in windows of parts of 3 seconds each.



    Over the graph you can notice the values for each important data peak, you can track wave changes by watching these values.

    You can move the limits of the graph with the green and red lines, touch each line to move it along the graph view.

    On bottom section from the graph view the are three buttons:


    Right and left arrow buttons lets you move the graph to right or left. In the middle position, there is a play/pause button to start or stop the carousel mode. By default and once the graph load ends, the graph animation plays automatically. For instance, if you record 30 seconds on MySignals device, the application will show 11 parts to navigate using the left/right arrow buttons and once the graph ends loading the animation will play automatically.

    Just above the play/pause button, you can see a little navigation legend to know which part of the full graph you are showing.

    At the end of the screen you can get the list of MySignals recordings provided by the user from the device, these listing is shown in order from latest to oldest one, each row shows the recording date and time. Tap on one row to select a single recording and the mobile application will start plotting the data on the graph, the row will be also highlighted to let the user know which row is currently plotting.

    The listing rows have a sampling rate and it is about 10 milliseconds.

    When the MySignals device establish a pairing with the application it send information in Datagram mode by default.




    Once you have completed your selection you must click on “Data” button, which you can find at the left end of the bottom toolbar.

    In “General mode” screen you will be able to see in one glance the main information of all sensors at once. The latest received sensor info will be green, the sensors with old received info will be orange and sensors that hasn't received info will be gray.



    IMPORTANT: In the detailed view only information coming from that specific sensor is received and send to the Cloud. If you want to receive and store information coming from many sensors at the same time you should use the "General view" screen.

    NOTE: At any time you can Activate / Deactivate the synchronization of the information being sent to your Cloud Account by just pressing the Cloud icon on the top right corner.



    Using the users section you are able to select and modify the user profile.




    Or organize them in different departments.






    There are several basic configuration screens: language, profile, user…. Where you can change your basic configuration.




    You can logout and login with another mysignals account:




    You can change the language of the application




    You can change the device MySignals connected to the APP.




    There is available a extra configuration section in the TFT where you can see your configuration info active: WiFi, account, user… You can use the DELETE button in order to delete the spirometers measures stored in the sensor (it should be connected when you press it).

    In the firmware version 1.0.5 of higher you can use the DELETE BONDINGS function in order to delete all the bluetooth connection information.

    You can use the RESET FACTORY VALUES function to restore MySignals to the basic configuration.

    6.2.2 Troubleshooting

    Here you can find a solution for all possible know issues the user can face on MySignals applications (iPhone/iPad and Android).

    Android

    • Do not start the mobile application until MySignals device is in bluetooth mode. The mobile application needs bluetooth communication to read data from MySignals device.

    • Sometimes the Bluetooth stack becomes corrupted due to use of other bluetooth applications, when this situation happens, the applications sometimes does not connect to MySignals device, to solve this issue switch off and switch on bluetooth device on device settings.

    • In some android devices, when the user switch off and on the bluetooth radio, the mobile device loses all bonded devices, at this point the user must delete the bonding connections on MySignals device.

    • On Android devices the pop-up dialog to introduce de passkey does not show on screen, this is due to bluetooth stack is malfunctioning, the solution is to switch off and on the bluetooth radio on device settings.

    • When the user deletes bonded connections on MySignals device and mobile device the MySignals device does not show PIN passkey to create a new bonding connection, at this point the user should exit and enter again from bluetooth mode on MySignals device.

    • On Android devices, the user can create a new bonded connection using bluetooth section in mobile device. To perform this action go to Settings application → Bluetooth and touch the listed device to start a new bonding action.

    • It is not possible to delete bonded devices in MySignals mobile application, to delete a bonded device go to settings application from your Android device and select Bluetooth section, there you can get the list of bonded devices, you can delete the desired application on that point.

    • If the user deletes a bonded device in Android device then the bonded connection must be deleted on MySignals device too.

    • As general rule, the bluetooth stack has different implementation on Android devices, it depends the hardware manufacturer, so when the bluetooth stack fails most of issues can be solved by switching off and on the bluetooth radio on settings application on Android devices.

    • When the user select a single sensor mobile application communicates with MySignals device, the communication time can last a couple of seconds. The user must wait until the new values arrives.

    • Connection time with MySignals can last until one minute, bluetooth connection and communication time depends n each manufacturer, some of then are faster and some of them are slower. Wait until the connection between mobile application and MySignals device finishes.

    • If sensor notifications does not arrive there could be a bonding problem or MySignals device is stuck, check that MySignals device can exit from bluetooth mode to check the MySignals state also exit from mobile application and kill it from background to start a new bluetooth connection between the mobile application and MySignals device.

    iPhone/iPad

    • Do not start the mobile application until MySignals device is in bluetooth mode. The mobile application needs bluetooth communication to read data from MySignals device.

    • Sometimes the Bluetooth stack becomes corrupted due to use of other bluetooth applications, when this situation happens, the applications sometimes does not connect to MySignals device, to solve this issue switch off and switch on bluetooth device on device settings.

    • It is not possible to delete bonded devices in MySignals mobile application, to delete a bonded device go to settings application from your iOS device and select Bluetooth section, there you can get the list of bonded devices, you can delete the desired application on that point.

    • If the user deletes a bonded device in iOS device then the bonded connection must be deleted on MySignals device too.

    • As general rule, when the bluetooth stack fails most of issues can be solved by switching off and on the bluetooth radio on settings application on iOS devices.

    • When the user select a single sensor mobile application communicates with MySignals device, the communication time can last a couple of seconds. The user must wait until the new values arrives.

    • Connection time with MySignals can last until one minute. Wait until the connection between mobile application and MySignals device finishes.

    • If sensor notifications does not arrive there could be a bonding problem or MySignals device is stuck, check that MySignals device can exit from bluetooth mode to check the MySignals state also exit from mobile application and kill it from background to start a new bluetooth connection between the mobile application and MySignals device.

    6.3 MySignals Cloud

    The data sent via WiFi o BLE through the APP can be visualized on MySignals website.

    Navigate through the history of previously stored data or even create many users in order to save the biometric information linked to a specific profile.

    MySignals allows to share data with the cloud, and perform real-time analysis.

    How do I ensure the privacy of the biometric data sent?

    Privacy is one of the key points in this kind of applications. For this reason the platform includes several security levels:

    • In the communication link layer: WPA2 for WiFi and AES256 encryption.
    • In the BLE communication: Bonded and encrypted connection
    • In the application layer: by using the HTTPS (secure) protocol we ensure a point to point security tunnel between each sensor node and the web server (this is the same method used in bank transfers).
    NOTE: The Firmware of MySignals SW manages all the sensors at the same time and monitors the response of the screen and the touchscreen. For this reason sometimes during the measurement of different sensor like blood pressure or other wireless sensors it will be able to perform one action at the same time, you have to wait it to finish before being able to navigate or interact with the screen again.
    • Red color indicate that you can not use the touchscreen in this moment. So try to keep the zone pressed until you receive a visual response on the tft.
    • Green color indicate that you can use the touchscreen as usual.

      • There is available too in the bottom of the screen a black zone where mysignals will write text indications about the actual state of the device.

    6.3.1 Using Server Connection Mode (WiFi mode)

    If you are interested in using this mode you first need to follow the steps in previous section “Bluetooth Connection mode” in order to transmit to MySignals all the required information to send the data to the server: database user and password, and your local WiFi name and password.

    Once completed this, you can return to the Configuration screen in MySignals and select Server Connection and click “Start Monitoring”.

    If all the info entered in the last point is correct you will see a WiFi connection screen and automatically it will direct you to “Select Sensors” screen. Here you can use everything as if you were in Standalone mode, with the only difference that the sensor data will be automatically sent to the server. You must select all the sensors that you want to measure. Selected sensors are in blue color and unselected sensors are in gray color.

    Once you have completed your selection you must click on “Data” button, which you can find at the left end of the bottom toolbar. In “Data” screen you will be able to see in one glance the main information of all sensors at once. The selected sensors will be green and sensors are not selected in red.

    If you are interested in viewing all the information in one particular sensor simply you have to click on it to enter a detail sensor view. On this screen you can see a graph of one of the sensor values and all the detailed information on a list view.

    At any time you can navigate back to return to the previous screen by clicking the arrow on the top left of the screen.

    NOTE: At any time you can Activate / Deactivate the synchronization of the information being sent to your Cloud Account by just pressing the Cloud icon on the top right corner.


    MySignals application will have an user account to login into the system, this account is important to make cloud call and store information. If the user does not have an account the user cannot use MySignals application.

    To access to the Libelium Cloud using your web browser go to: https://cloud.libelium.com/mysignals/

    For information on how to create an account and activate your license please visit the point 5.2.1 of this guide.




    In each account you may have several user profiles. You can create, delete or modify your users.




    When the user starts the MySignals application for the first time and setup assistant prompts the user will be able to create a profile once the user logs in. It will show you a “First Steps” wizard in order to help you with the profile and device configuration.




    Each profile should be synchronized with cloud to be up-to-date with user information.

    To configure MySignals application for each device, we will need to set up common parameters.

    You can see all the data of each device or user in the user's data section.




    Using the Department, User or Device configuration sections you can create, configure or delete them.




    You can configure too your personal profile.




    Now you can select the member or device that you want monitor.

    First of all choose the sensor that you want to visualize. You can use the fast access menu situated on the left side of the Web Server.


    NOTE: In the General view the update time to the Cloud is 20s. In the Detail view is 10s.

    Then you can see the General Sensor page. MySignals Web Server will monitor all the parameters in General Mode where it only show numeric values.

    You can see in this screen a color code in the sensor logos:

    • Green: It is a real- time value measured in MySignals Software

    • Orange: It is a old value measured in a previously connection of some time ago.

    • Grey: It is that the sensor is not connected.




    Finally, you can go to detail mode for each sensor selected. Press in the logo of the sensor in General Mode if you want to see the graphical and numeric values of a specific sensor.




    Raw data viewer

    A new feature has been added allowing us to see the raw data, also known as wave signal, for the sensors: Airflow, ECG, EMG and Snore.



    The member detail page shows a general view of the last values received for the different sensors. A new feature has been added allowing us to see the raw data, also known as wave signal, for certain sensors.

    Please select one of the following sensors in order to go to the sensor detail page:

    • Airflow: (Respiratory rate)
    • ECG: (Heart rate)
    • EMG: (Muscle contraction)

MySignal Web Server Application is an application that allows you to configure Mysignals for creating profiles and users and help you to visualize all the data measured.

    This application is available in:

    https://cloud.libelium.com/mysignals/

    6.3.6 Account creation

    In order to access to the MySignals web application is necessary to have SCM account and a valid license.

    SCM stands for “Services Cloud Manager”, and is Libelium's platform from where you can manage your devices and Cloud Services.

    1. - To create a free SCM account please fill this form and click in the validation email that you will receive:
      https://cloud.libelium.com/register
      (If additional help is needed please check the Services Cloud Manager Guide )
    2. - To activate your license you will need to to follow this steps:
      • Buy your MySignals license from Libelium's IoT Marketplace or from your Sales agent.
      • You will receive in your email the License activation code.
      • You must click in the activation link that you will receive by email.
      (If additional help is needed please check the Services Cloud Manager Guide)
      After these steps you can start using MySignals Cloud service with the Website, Mobile APP and Developer API, in the terms and quotas contained in the license that you purchased.

    6.3.7 License activation

    The “Licenses” section gives control of the licenses for the SCM. Licenses enable services for your devices. The “My Licenses” panel lists the currently active licenses and the historic data of all the expired licenses. If you recently purchased a License, go to the “Get Licenses” panel to enter its activation code.

    License activation codes are unique and only one use is allowed (one license only applies to one user, to one account). Despite the ownership of one device can be transferred (and one device can be managed by several users), the ownership of a license cannot be transferred.

    Any license has an expiration time associated to it. It is important to note that time starts running from the moment the user activates it by entering its activation code (after entering the activation code of a license, it may be required to activate it in the “Service” panel).

    If the user has one active license and activates a new one, time keeps running for both the old and the new licenses (in other words, time is never paused).

    The “My Licenses” panel shows the licenses and the status of each one. The “Active” tab shows the list of the licenses which are currently active, and the “Expired” tab shows the list of previously used licenses.


    The information displayed is:

    • License ID: Identification number
    • Service: Service and type provided by the license
    • Activated: Date of activation
    • Expires: Date of expiration

    The MySignals Cloud Licenses activation process will be ready-to-use from February 20th.License registration is done in the “Get Licenses” panel. It is a 2-step procedure: enter a valid license activation code and confirm the action.


    Entering a Single Activation Code will register one license. A Group Activation Code will register all devices belonging to the Sales Order, but not the licenses it may contain.

    The SCM will validate the activation code, displaying a visual confirmation. When the process is finished successfully, a message will show that the license has been correctly added to the “My Licenses” panel.

    If the process could not be finished correctly, a message will notify the error. For example, “invalid activation code: please check that the activation code you entered is valid”.

    6.4 Using a third party Cloud

    Developers may migrate the information stored in the Libelium Cloud to a third party Cloud server easily using the API Cloud provided.

    7.1.1 Pulse and Oxygen in Blood (SPO2)

    7.1.1.1 Sensor features

    Description: Pulse oximetry a noninvasive method of indicating the arterial oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin.

    Oxygen saturation is defined as the measurement of the amount of oxygen dissolved in blood, based on the detection of Hemoglobin and Deoxyhemoglobin. Two different light wavelengths are used to measure the actual difference in the absorption spectra of HbO2 and Hb. The bloodstream is affected by the concentration of HbO2 and Hb, and their absorption coefficients are measured using two wavelengths 660 nm (red light spectra) and 940 nm (infrared light spectra). Deoxygenated and oxygenated hemoglobin absorb different wavelengths.

    Deoxygenated hemoglobin (Hb) has a higher absorption at 660 nm and oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO2) has a higher absorption at 940 nm . Then a photo-detector perceives the non-absorbed light from the LEDs to calculate the arterial oxygen saturation.

    A pulse oximeter sensor is useful in any setting where a patient's oxygenation is unstable, including intensive care, operating, recovery, emergency and hospital ward settings, pilots in unpressurized aircraft, for assessment of any patient's oxygenation, and determining the effectiveness of or need for supplemental oxygen.

    Acceptable normal ranges for patients are from 95 to 99 percent, those with a hypoxic drive problem would expect values to be between 88 to 94 percent, values of 100 percent can indicate carbon monoxide poisoning.

    The sensor needs to be connected to the specific SPO2 jack connector in MySignals board and it works with direct connector power supply.

    Measurement:

    Parameter Unit Range
    Pulse ppm 25~250 ppm
    SPO2 % 35-100%
  • Buy the SPO2 Pulse Oxygen in Blood Sensor PRO for MySignals (eHealth Medical Development Platform)

    • 7.1.1.2 Connecting the sensor

    Connect the sensor in the SPO2 connector indicated in the MySignals Hardware board. The sensor cable have only one way of connection to prevent errors and make the connection easier.

    7.1.2 ECG

    The Electrocardiogram Sensor (ECG) has grown to be one of the most commonly used medical tests in modern medicine. Its utility in the diagnosis of a myriad of cardiac pathologies ranging from myocardial ischemia and infarction to syncope and palpitations has been invaluable to clinicians for decades.

    The accuracy of the ECG depends on the condition being tested. A heart problem may not always show up on the ECG. Some heart conditions never produce any specific ECG changes. ECG leads are attached to the body while the patient lies flat on a bed or table.

    7.1.2.1 Sensor features

    Description: The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool that is routinely used to assess the electrical and muscular functions of the heart. The sensor use “Continuous telemetry electrocardiogram" for a prolonged monitoring including the use of three ECG electrodes.

    The sensor needs to be connected to the specific ECG jack connector in MySignals board and it works with direct connector power supply.

    What is measured or can be detected on the ECG (EKG)?

    • The orientation of the heart (how it is placed) in the chest cavity.
    • Evidence of increased thickness (hypertrophy) of the heart muscle.
    • Evidence of damage to the various parts of the heart muscle.
    • Evidence of acutely impaired blood flow to the heart muscle.
    • Patterns of abnormal electric activity that may predispose the patient to abnormal cardiac rhythm disturbances.
    • The underlying rate and rhythm mechanism of the heart.

    7.1.4 Blood Pressure Monitor

    Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood in the arteries as it is pumped around the body by the heart. When your heart beats, it contracts and pushes blood through the arteries to the rest of your body. This force creates pressure on the arteries. Blood pressure is recorded as two numbers—the systolic pressure (as the heart beats) over the diastolic pressure (as the heart relaxes between beats).

    7.1.4.1 Sensor features

    Description: Monitoring blood pressure at home is important for many people, especially if you have high blood pressure. Blood pressure does not stay the same all the time. It changes to meet your body’s needs. It is affected by various factors including body position, breathing or emotional state, exercise and sleep. It is best to measure blood pressure when you are relaxed and sitting or lying down.

    7.1.7 EMG

    Electromyography (EMG) is an electrodiagnostic medicine technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. EMG is performed using an instrument called an electromyograph, to produce a record called an electromyogram. An electromyograph detects the electric potential generated by muscle cells when these cells are electrically or neurologically activated. The signals can be analyzed to detect medical abnormalities, activation level, or recruitment order, or to analyze the biomechanics of human or animal movement.

    EMG testing has a variety of clinical and biomedical applications. EMG is used as a diagnostics tool for identifying neuromuscular diseases, or as a research tool for studying kinesiology, and disorders of motor control. EMG signals are sometimes used to guide botulinum toxin or phenol injections into muscles. EMG signals are also used as a control signal for prosthetic devices such as prosthetic hands, arms, and lower limbs.

    There are two kinds of EMG: surface EMG and intramuscular EMG. Surface EMG assesses muscle function by recording muscle activity from the surface above the muscle on the skin. Surface electrodes are able to provide only a limited assessment of the muscle activity. Surface EMG can be recorded by a pair of electrodes or by a more complex array of multiple electrodes. More than one electrode is needed because EMG recordings display the potential difference (voltage difference) between two separate electrodes. Limitations of this approach are the fact that surface electrode recordings are restricted to superficial muscles, are influenced by the depth of the subcutaneous tissue at the site of the recording which can be highly variable depending of the weight of a patient, and cannot reliably discriminate between the discharges of adjacent muscles.

    7.1.9 GSR

    Skin conductance, also known as galvanic skin response (GSR) is a method of measuring the electrical conductance of the skin, which varies with its moisture level. This is of interest because the sweat glands are controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, so moments of strong emotion, change the electrical resistance of the skin. Skin conductance is used as an indication of psychological or physiological arousal, The Galvanic Skin Response Sensor (GSR - Sweating) measures the electrical conductance between 2 points, and is essentially a type of ohmmeter.

    7.1.9.1 Sensor features

    Description: This sensor measures the electrical conductance of the skin, which varies with its moisture level. This is of interest because the sweat glands are controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, so moments of strong emotion, change the electrical resistance of the skin.

    In skin conductance response method, conductivity of skin is measured at fingers of the palm. The principle or theory behind functioning of galvanic response sensor is to measure electrical skin resistance based on sweat produced by the body. When high level of sweating takes place, the electrical skin resistance drops down. A dryer skin records much higher resistance. The skin conductance response sensor measures the psycho galvanic reflex of the body. Emotions such as excitement, stress, shock, etc. can result in the fluctuation of skin conductivity. Skin conductance measurement is one component of polygraph devices and is used in scientific research of emotional or physiological arousal.

    The sensor needs to be connected to the specific GSR jack connector in MySignals board and it works with direct connector power supply.

    Parameter Unit Range
    Conductance Siemens 0-20 Siemens
    Resistance Ohms 10K-100KOhms

    7.1.11 Snore

    Snoring is a major symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In most sleep studies, snoring is detected with a microphone. Since these studies analyze the acoustic properties of snoring, they need to acquire data at high sampling rates, so a large amount of data should be processed. Recently, several sleep studies have monitored snoring using a piezo snoring sensor. However, an automatic method for snoring detection using a piezo snoring sensor has not been reported in the literature. This study proposed the HMM-based method to detect snoring using this sensor, which is attached to the neck. The data from 21 patients with OSA were gathered for training and test sets. The short-time Fourier transform and short-time energy were computed so they could be applied to HMMs. The data were classified as snoring, noise and silence according to their HMMs. As a result, the sensitivity and the positive predictivity values were 93.3% and 99.1% for snoring detection, respectively. The results demonstrated that the method produced simple, portable and user-friendly detection tools that provide an alternative to the microphone-based method.

    7.1.11.1 Sensor features

    Description: This sensor attaches to the neck and records vibration. The sensor converts snoring, and other sounds in the audio range picked up through the skin, to a small analog voltage that provides a clear, reliable indication of the presence of these sounds.

    Sound is absorbed via vibrations from the throat and transferred to the device which is then converted into analog signal. So, the throat method eliminates most background noise whether in the battle field or on the job site.

    Snore sensor maintains constant contact with the patient's skin throughout movements or sweating so that you will consistently receive quality signals throughout the night with little to no artifact.

    Vibration-type sensor unit:

    1. With pretty good anti-noise performance.
    2. Detachable acoustic tube design.
    3. Translucent earbud, better for personal hygiene and discreet measurement.
    4. Comfortable With high-quality flexible plastic clip.
    5. Easy to be fixed on your desired place.
    6. Suitable for MySignals Hardware double-jack connector
    7. Adjustable to suits neck size between 12" and 15".
    8. Small PTT button right on the neck piece used to generate alerts.

    The sensor needs to be connected to the specific Snore double jack connector in MySignals device and it works with direct connector power supply.

    Measurement:

    Parameter Unit Range
    Snore rate SPM (Snores per minute) 0-60 spm
    Snore signal Volts 0-5V
  • Buy the Snore Sensor PRO for MySignals (eHealth Medical Development Platform)

    NOTE: BLE sensors are not compatible with the mobile App for the moment, however you can use them in standalone and web server mode.

    7.1.2.1 Sensor features

    Description: Pulse oximetry a noninvasive method of indicating the arterial oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin.

    Oxygen saturation is defined as the measurement of the amount of oxygen dissolved in blood, based on the detection of Hemoglobin and Deoxyhemoglobin. Two different light wavelengths are used to measure the actual difference in the absorption spectra of HbO2 and Hb. The bloodstream is affected by the concentration of HbO2 and Hb, and their absorption coefficients are measured using two wavelengths 660 nm (red light spectra) and 940 nm (infrared light spectra). Deoxygenated and oxygenated hemoglobin absorb different wavelengths.

    Deoxygenated hemoglobin (Hb) has a higher absorption at 660 nm and oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO2) has a higher absorption at 940 nm . Then a photo-detector perceives the non-absorbed light from the LEDs to calculate the arterial oxygen saturation.

    A pulse oximeter sensor is useful in any setting where a patient's oxygenation is unstable, including intensive care, operating, recovery, emergency and hospital ward settings, pilots in unpressurized aircraft, for assessment of any patient's oxygenation, and determining the effectiveness of or need for supplemental oxygen.

    Acceptable normal ranges for patients are from 95 to 99 percent, those with a hypoxic drive problem would expect values to be between 88 to 94 percent, values of 100 percent can indicate carbon monoxide poisoning.

    The sensor needs to be connected to the specific SPO2 jack connector in MySignals board and it works with direct connector power supply.

    7.2.3 Blood Pressure Monitor (BLE)

    Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood in the arteries as it is pumped around the body by the heart. When your heart beats, it contracts and pushes blood through the arteries to the rest of your body. This force creates pressure on the arteries. Blood pressure is recorded as two numbers—the systolic pressure (as the heart beats) over the diastolic pressure (as the heart relaxes between beats).

    Description: Monitoring blood pressure at home is important for many people, especially if you have high blood pressure. Blood pressure does not stay the same all the time. It changes to meet your body’s needs. It is affected by various factors including body position, breathing or emotional state, exercise and sleep. It is best to measure blood pressure when you are relaxed and sitting or lying down.


    Classification of blood pressure for adults (18 years and older)

    Systolic (mm Hg) Diastolic (mm Hg)
    Hypotension < 90 < 60
    Desired 90–119 60–79
    Prehypertension 120–139 80–89
    Stage 1 Hypertension 140–159 90–99
    Stage 2 Hypertension 160–179 100–109
    Hypertensive Crisis ≥ 180 ≥ 110

    High blood pressure (hypertension) can lead to serious problems like heart attack, stroke or kidney disease. High blood pressure usually does not have any symptoms, so you need to have your blood pressure checked regularly.

    7.2.4 Glucometer (BLE)

    Despite widely variable intervals between meals or the occasional consumption of meals with a substantial carbohydrate load, human blood glucose levels tend to remain within the normal range. However, shortly after eating, the blood glucose level may rise, in non-diabetics, temporarily up to 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) or a bit more.

    NOTE: BLE sensors are not compatible with the mobile App for the moment, however you can use them in standalone and web server mode.

    7.2.4.1 Sensor features

    Description: Glucometer is a medical device for determining the approximate concentration of glucose in the blood. A small drop of blood, obtained by pricking the skin with a lancet, is placed on a disposable test strip that the meter reads and uses to calculate the blood glucose level. The meter then displays the level in mg/dl or mmol/l.

    The sensor works with internal batteries.

    7.3 Wireless Sensors


    NOTE: All detail screen for sensors on Mobile applications were replaced for a completely new web detail on MySignals Cloud, if you click onto a sensor in iPhone or Android application you will get a popup message pointing the new MySignals Cloud, there you can enjoy the new features for each sensor detail.

    On this new release, the mobile application are able to communicate directly with bluetooth sensors, this is possible due to in-application implementation on both mobile applications. The set of sensors are: pulsioximeter, blood pressure, glucometer, temperature, alarm and scale. All bluetooth sensors can operate with MysSignals device at the same time.

    Using this guide you can get information about how to connect and perform measures with each one.


    Inside thsese application we make difference between two types of bluetooth sensors:

  • Monitoring sensors: They give a continuos data on main data screen and inside the detail screen of each one.


  • Sampling sensors: They give a single measure each time and the user must connect with the application on detail screen from each sensor.

    • 7.3.1 Monitoring sensors

    These set of sensors are bluetooth pulsioximeter, bluetooth temperature and bluetooth alarm. These three item have the same steps to connect them.

    Now we are going to describe how to connect each one and how to obtain data from each sensor with a set of simple steps.

    7.3.1.1 Connect to sensor

    Go to sensors list screen and tap on one of these three sensors to select one, The first time the application will point to a new screen to select the sensor, make sure that the sensor if off before this new screen shows. Once you turn on the bluetooth sensor the mobile application will discover sensor nearby, this screen will only show sensors provided with MySignals.

    For instance these are the examples you will find when discovering new monitoring sensors:



    If the mobile application has established a previous connection, when the user taps on one monitoring sensors the application will try to connect the last used bluetooht sensor, but if this connection fail the application will show the new scan screen to discover the device again.

    There is no limit about number of connected bluetooth devices on iPhone but on Android these is a limitation of three bluetooth peripherals connected (plus MySignals device), this was made to provide the application a stable connection along all the lifecycle until the user quits the mobile application.


    7.3.1.2 Connection confirmation

    Once the user select a discovered sensor on bluetooth discovery screen, the application will show a confirmation message:



    If the user confirm the selection the aplpication will show again the sensor list screen and another confirmation message to warn the user about the new connection between the mobile application and the bluetoth sensor:



    Each time the user want to disconnect from a monitoring type sensor, just toouch again on the blue lighted sensor and it will turn grey and dissapears from main data screen.

    These kind of sensors perform a reconnection periodically, then if the user has these sensors selected but the bluetooth device is turned off just wait until the application reconnects with the bluetooth sensor. The reconnection time can last until one minute.

    7.3.1.3 Main data screen

    Now the application has one or more monitoring sensors enabled. You can see how the application is receiving data for each sensor with the same way provided for MySignals device.


    When the mobile applications receives a new data entry from a bluetooth sensor the icon will turn green, but if the mobile application does not have new data from the bluetooth sensor the icon will turn orange and the application will show the lasta value obtained. If the icon from the sensor is grey it means that the mobile application never obtained new data from the bluetooth sensor.

    7.3.1.4 Detail screen

    Each monitoring sensor has a different screen because the data provided for each one is slightly different, each detail screen has a different way to present the data and each one perform different operations.

    The mobile application provides the classical functionality provided for MySignals for all monitoring bluetooth sensors, the user can track live data and a graph and also can view historical data for las day, last week and last month.

    Detail screen are the same as MySignals device for bluetooth temperature and bluetooth pulsioximeter sensors:


    On these version we introduce a new sensor, the panic alarm button, these button starts s sound and a buzz to warn people about a problem and also sends an alert message.


    As the detail screen shows, the user can send an email or sms to notify the user about a problem, also it is possible to set a custom message and a phone number as destination.

    Each time somebody pushes the alarm button a message will pop up on the mobile application, no matter the current active screen of the mobile application, the message will show on top and it can send the message thru this alert message.

    7.3.2 Sampling sensors

    This set of bluetoth sensors isprovided by bluetooth blood pressure, bluetooth glucometer and bluetooth scale.


    As said with monitoring sensors, there is no limit about number of connected bluetooth devices on iPhone but on Android these is a limitation of three bluetooth peripherals connected (plus MySignals device), this was made to provide the application a stable connection along all the lifecycle until the user quits the mobile application.


    These sensors must be connected on detail screen, then the user must perform the connection only in one sensor at the same time in the detail screen.

    7.3.3 Selecting sensors

    It is very easy to select these kind of sensors, just tap over each one and they will be selected and show up on main data screen. To deselect these sensors just tap again and the light icon will turn grey and will disappear form main data screen.

    Once you select one or more sampling sensor, they will be shown on main data screen


    7.3.3.1 Detail screen

    On these detail screens, all sampling sensors shares common elements on the interface, but there is also differences between them.

    There is a common connect button on the details screen, the fuction of this element is easy, it creaetes a new connection between the bluetooth sensor and the mobile application like the monitoring sensors.


    The first time the button connect is pushed, the mobile application will show a new screen to select the bluetooth sensor, this screen will show only bluetooth sensors provided with MySignals. The following tries the application will establish a connection with the bluetooth sensor and in case the mobile application cannot establish it will show a new screen to discover bluetooth sensors.

    Once a bluetooth sensor is selected, the mobile application warns about the successful connection and the blue button labeled as “Connect” will turn to green colour and it will labeled as “Connected”.


    After that the sensor starts measuring:


    We introduce another new feature available on bluettoth blood pressure sensor. This screen allows the user to set the measure interval on blood pressure, this values start from 30 seconds to 1800 seconds. Blood pressure sensor will start measuring again after this value and it will loop until the user exits from detail screen or turns off the bluetooth device.


    Each time a new value is wrtten, the user should press save button below the text box to save the changes.

    When the user go back to main data screen the connection between the application and the bluetooth sensor stops, then each time the user enters the detail screen for a sampling sensor it is mandatory to establish a new bluetooth connection as described before.

    For a better use of these sensors we recommend to turn off and on the bluetooth sensor before connecting with the mobile application.

    Warning: We experienced that some bluetooth chipsets cannot connect to bluetooth scale. Specifically, we found this behaviour on BQ devices.

    There is one special detail screen, the scale.let's explain the workflow:

    First of all, a main alert will show up, you can choose between display data already measured and perform a new measure:


    If you choose”Make new measurement” you will start a little wizard that shows how to perform a measure, this wizard required a 2-steo setup: first one, “make sure that the scale is turned off “and second “step on the scale”.


    Sometimes, when the scale is turned off and the user steps on again, the sensor scale can display a not accurate weight, in this case you should step off the scale until it shows zero weight, then you can step on again to perform the measure.

    When the scale connects with MySignals applciations, the blue button labeled as “Measure” turn green.


    After that wait a moment until the new measure is received from the scale sensor into the application, as a result the application will let you know when the process has finished.


    8. Updating Firmware

    Libelium Smart Devices App is an important tool developed by Libelium that allows users install new firmware versions and program the configuration of the new Libelium devices in a few clicks. At the moment it is only available for Smart Parking and MySignals products, but the list will be incremented shortly.

    Using the USB connector, a new firmware version can be uploaded to MySignals without opening the enclosure. Just connect one side of the USB cable to this connector, removing protection cap if necessary and connect the other side to a PC. Next steps describe this process in detail.
