Gladly.
It's very homebrew for sure but it works well for me.
The microphone is a Panasonic capsule mounted on a off-the-shelf microphone amplifier pcb.
I use an alligator clip
third hand to hold it close the the movement.
For calibration, I haven't tried the proposed method for the software. I instead use a 1 pulse per second signal from a GPS receiver I have setup for another experiment of mine. For example, with my current computer/sound card the calibration offset is 2.4 seconds.
To be fair, the software is also installed on my laptop. Using the laptop's built-in microphone the results are just as good as long the watch is loud enough to be picked up by the microphone/software.
I find the rate and beat error measurements are very good using this software. The graphical displays are very useful to diagnose issues with movements. The amplitude accuracy depends directly on the setting the proper lift angle in the software. Also, sometimes the software uses the wrong acoustic peak to determine amplitude and will flip back and forth between accurate value to erroneous value of amplitude. Viewing the acoustic profile assists to determine which measurement is the correct.
