Convert the accelerometer data from the Polar H10 to the format generated by Somnopose, to import into OSCAR.

#
# OSCAR can import somnopose data, so we convert the Polar H10 data to the format generated by somnopose.

I used an Android app, I think it was "Polar Sensor Logger" (com.j_ware.polarsensorlogger). The only problem was that sometimes the recording would cut out, I think potentially I needed to leave the screen on, or leave the app in the foreground, maybe? Sorry, it's been a few years and I can't remember 100%.

Got it thanks! Yeah that logger i've found is flaky, ive never gotten it to send data. https://github.com/Boelensman1/PolarRecorder this one works but its a different file format, but im sure i can get it converted.

Thanks!
