Hi Ha,
You should use the linear conversion from the documentation to convert ADC values to skin conductance. This linear conversion replaces the previous polynomial conversion from ADC to resistance (remember to calculate the inverse of the conductance if resistance is what you are interested in measuring) and provides a more accurate conversion. The code for the new linear conversion will be released to the github repository in the coming weeks.

Hi all, I'm using a Shimmer2r GSR Sensor to monitor user's Skin Resistance. I installed the tinyos apps example SimpleGSR (from here http://tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tinyos/tinyos-2.x-contrib/shimmer/a pps/SimpleGSR/). The confusion appears when I read the instruction in the Shimmer's documentation about how to calculate GSR from ADC value: - In the documentation, it says that the GSR can be calculated by using a linear function with TWO coefficients, also given in the documentation. - Whereas, in the file /opt/tinyos-2.1.1/tos/platforms/shimmer/chips/gsr/GsrP.c which is used by the SimpleGSR app, I found that the GSR value is calculated by using a linear function with FIVE coefficients. Moreover, these FIVE coefficients seem to have nothing in common with the other TWO coefficients given in the Shimmer's documentation. So, my question is: which set of coefficients should I use to calculate the GSR value? Thank you very much for your reply. Have a nice weekend to all !!! :-D Cheers, Ha.
