survey.88.io

The survey.88.io Android mobile app enables collection of a lot of environmental data using the sensors on your phone.

You should run the survey.88.io app for about 60 seconds so it can collect enough data (but NOT more than 90 seconds as that will be too much data) to create an survey file as output.

You can then import the resulting survey file into your Community Cluster location pin documenting the survey event at that location.

1. Usage

2. iOS

This is for Android, for iOS please use:

Install App

1. Installation

The English version of the survey.88.io mobile app can be downloaded from https://app.88.io/survey

Once installed the app should appear on the Home screen.

2. Setting

When opening the app for the first time, a location pop-up window will appear. Please select "While using the app".

3. Allow Permission

Go to the Phone's Settings and open Apps -> 88collect -> Permissions.
In addition to "Location", allow the Body Sensors, Files and Media, Nearby devices and Physical activity as an error may occur if these permissions are not allowed.

Once all have been allowed, the app is ready to be used.

Technical

To perform a survey at your location, the survey.88.io android mobile app can be download from https://138813.au/survey88io as an APK file. You can then install it onto your Android mobile phone.

1. Source

survey.88.io is created from simpleLoc's SensorReadoutApp:
GitHub - simpleLoc/SensorReadoutApp: Android Sensor recording application

Like SensorReadoutApp the initial focus is on geo positioning (especially indoors), but we expect to expand it application to other areas later on.

2. Output

The output of the program is saved in a text file with a number of fields on each line.

The first field is always the Time (a large number in nano-second) and second field is always the Event ID (a small number indicated the data type) followed by a varying number of fields depending on the Event ID.

For example, below are lines in the output file documenting the WiFi data (Event ID=8) collected from a survey:

3044195635;8;0618d6ad890e;2412;-39
3044200635;8;bafbe471da89;2412;-91
3044205635;8;c2fbe471da89;2412;-90
3044209635;8;10feed50c5e1;2412;-53
3044212635;8;9483c407b99c;5180;-64
3044215635;8;14cc205ed225;5180;-90
3044217635;8;1618d6ad890e;2412;-39

1. Nano-Second

The first field is the number of nano-seconds passed since the start of the survey.88.io program:

First 8 lines of a sample output file is posted below, we can see that the FIRST survey result came in at 0.027663927 seconds after program start.

0;-2;2024-05-20T00:11:02.867Z;;
0;-3;a7ef0fbe-c582-4647-881f-f4ab61029470
0;-1;0;0
0;99;0
0;50;STANDING;1
27663927;3;0.0071013086;-0.005421429;5.345071E-4
29637927;3;0.0022143866;-0.0023671028;-0.0019089539
31624927;3;0.0022143866;-0.0023671028;-0.0019089539

Last 4 lines of a sample output file is posted below, we can see that LAST survey result came in at 69.307854367 seconds after program start.

69307854367;0;0.94331545;4.582502;9.79019
69307854367;3;0.23312145;-0.04589125;0.017638734
69307854367;22;3.181221471602614E-5
69322765642;99;1

From the above results the survey.88.io program ran for about 69.3 seconds (just over a minute) generating a result file in 7.7 MByte size with 7670230 characters in 161496 lines.

2. Event ID

survey.88.io collects from a massive list of sensors as events, each event has an unique Event ID:

ACCELEROMETER(0),
GRAVITY(1),
LINEAR_ACCELERATION(2),
GYROSCOPE(3),
MAGNETIC_FIELD(4),
PRESSURE(5),
ORIENTATION_NEW(6),
ROTATION_MATRIX(7),
WIFI(8),
BLUETOOTH(9),
RELATIVE_HUMIDITY(10),
ORIENTATION_OLD(11),
ROTATION_VECTOR(12),
LIGHT(13),
AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE(14),
HEART_RATE(15),
GPS(16),
WIFIRTT(17),
GAME_ROTATION_VECTOR(18),
EDDYSTONE_UID(19),
DECAWAVE_UWB(20),
STEP_DETECTOR(21),
HEADING_CHANGE(22),
PEDESTRIAN_ACTIVITY(50),
GROUND_TRUTH(99),
GROUND_TRUTH_PATH(-1),
FILE_METADATA(-2)

Parameters

The number behind the Event Type above is the Event ID used to identify different sensors within the resulting data file.

The 1st and 2nd parameters on each line of the CSV file are always:

Nano-Seconds
Event ID

1st Event Type	2nd Event ID	3rd	4th	5th	6th
Gravity - m/s2	1	Force X-axis	Force Y-axis	Force Z-axis
Magnetic Field - μT	4	Field X-axis	Field Y-axis	Field Z-axis
Pressure - hPa	5	Barometric Pressure
WiFi	8	BSSID	Frequency	RSSI
Bluetooth	9	MAC	RSSI	Tx Power
GPS	16	Latitude	Longitude	Altitude	Bearing

File

Resulting data file is in CSV format with timestamps and sensor based variables.
