# TgForce Sensor on Android

[Kelsec Systems](http://kelsec.com/) developed a nice sensor for measuring running impact, the [TgForce Running Impact Sensor](http://tgforce.com/). The sensor comes with an IOS application but has no available counterpart on Android. To interface with the sensor on Android I needed to create some glue code. The people of Kelsec Systems were kind enough to mail some documentation about the protocol and with that information I got to work.

The [TgForce Sensor Android code](https://github.com/JorenSix/TgForceSensor) is available on GitHub, together with some documentation which is available below as well:

# TgForce Impact Running Sensor Andoid API

The TgForceSensor repository contains Android code to interface with the [TgForce Impact Running Sensor](http://tgforce.com/). The TgForce sensor is a Bluetooth LE device that measures [tibial shock](http://tgforce.com/about-tibial-shock/). It follows the\
Bluetooth LE standards and is relatively easy to interface with.

This repository contains Android code to interface with the device. The protocol is encoded in the source code and is documented in the readme.
