PiTech Software Treadmill is a software that mimics the operations of a treadmill. The user can walk, jog, and run by changing the speed and inclination and may stop or pause at any time. The user has the ability to manually adjust the settings to target specific goals, such as a specific amount of calories, time, or a certain distance. The software monitors and calculates distance, calories, and time throughout the workout. The user can have a better estimate of calories burned by inputting age and weight at any time during the session. The user has the choice to select a pre-designed program to work out on a specific fitness goal such as weight loss, endurance, or cardiovascular fitness. The software saves data and creates a history file, which includes the user's time, distance, and calories per workout. Treadmill messages are displayed in the message display section, and the treadmill's user guide can be viewed at any time.
If you use the Eclipse IDE, then to import and run the project with our zip file, you need to:
- Select File > Import
- Expand "General", then select "Existing Projects into Workspace" and click Next.
- Choose "Select archive file" and navigate to the zip file. Alternatively, you can choose "Select root directory" and navigate to the directory that you extracted from the zip file.
- A project called PiTech will appear. Make sure it is checked, and then click "Finish".
- The PiTech project will appear in your Project Explorer, which can then be run in the usual manner.
Compiling the program into a jar-file on the command line is easy:
javac *.java
jar cvfe PiTech.jar DisplayInterface *.class rsc/*
This creates a jar-file called PiTech.jar which can be run by executing
java -jar PiTech.jar, or by double-clicking on the icon. The included shell
script build.sh will automate this in a POSIX environment.
A third alternative, if you have Apache Ant, you can compile and create the
jar-file by simply executing ant.
