Adapter PCB with IMU delivered

A project log for Adding BLE to a "dumb" treadmill

I have a Gold Gym 410 which is perfect for my purposes. But I always had an itch about tapping into speed and inclination data.

I got the PCB back from PCBWay through their sponsorship program and it looks great:

In the picture the IMU (bottom right) and the sensor pads (bottom left) are clearly visible.
And of course, big center stage for the CR2032 battery holder.

Fabrication quality is impressive, a quick test showed the MCU readings being accurate. In retrospect I should have use both sides of the MCU pins instead of just one, but I soldered a socket, that should work:

I will use the remainder of this vacation time to bring the project to completion and present it to an audience of coworkers interested in learning about "Arduino" things. What's remaining?

Suggestions?

Stay tuna!
