Last Updated on December 3, 2023 by pg@petergamma.org

A. Buy a treadmill from which you think it can be used for this purpose. Or use a device to show that it cannot be used for this purpose.

B. To build an exercise stress test treadmill we can start with manual adjustment

1. of the treadmill speed
2. of the treadmill tilt
3. we can add an uplift mechanism also by ourselves if the treadmill has none.

C. We can add an ECG device

1. ECG devices with up to 8 channels can be built from PiEEG
2. ECG devices with up to 12 channels can be built from OpenBCI

D. We can add an Arduino treadmill controller

Xiaomi treadmill with Home Assistant or treadmill controller with Arduino or TreadTracker & a training tracker?

• and we can control with the software platform of our choice.

E. We can add a Raspberry Pi treadmill speed sensor
