Implemented stealth pulse

A micro pulse, barely perceptible, with no auditory or visual feedback. Used for courses to verify the student is wearing the device.

UPDATE: the "pager" function also delivers this pulse 5 times, useful for most environments since the beeper is hard to hear now that the device is waterproof and rubber sealed everywhere.

fantastic. It was my idea glad to hear you went though with it as I can't think of a better way to prevent cheating

Thanks for coming up with this. Went 2 bytes overboard with the firmware and had to tweak some stuff to make it fit... but now it's in there!

You welome out of curisosity what happens if you fail to respond to the mini pulse and how long have you got to confirm you recieved it. I have a feeling there will be a few guys out there that will wish I never had come up with it though. I might even be one of them myself at one time or another.

The idea is to make course recognition dependent on having worn the device while taking it. So the device must be worn while taking courses to create your online pedigree.

Right so it allows you to proceed though the course but the scores do not count just wondered wasn't sure if you couldn't carry on but I guess that would depend on the individual course.
