## Overview

An ADR Encoder measures the motion of a lift and passes velocity readings to a Mac over Bluetooth, where a voice interface can discuss the current set. The encoder measures lift motion; the custom bridge and voice interface run on the Mac.

Best for: Measure bar velocity. Give your lifting sensor a voice coach.

Not for: A guaranteed plug-and-play recreation without the listed hardware revisions, accessories and software setup.

Where code runs: The encoder measures lift motion; the custom bridge and voice interface run on the Mac.

## Project ideas

- Give your lifting sensor a voice coach

## What you need

- ADR Encoder

- Required: Mac with Bluetooth. 

- Required: Training equipment and secure sensor attachment. Attach according to the encoder instructions; coaching output is not an independently validated training prescription.

## Compatibility and cautions

- Uses a Mac and Codex Voice. Sensor integration is documented; training recommendations are not independently validated.

- The creator identifies the ADR Encoder family, not a firmware revision. Confirm Bluetooth protocol compatibility before ordering.

- Source-reviewed, not independently hardware-tested. Confirm the model, revision and recovery process before changing device software.

## Planning notes (not a replacement for the original technical instructions)

1. **Check your model and revision**:  The creator identifies the ADR Encoder family, not a firmware revision. Confirm Bluetooth protocol compatibility before ordering.

2. **Read the creator’s setup**: Uses a Mac and Codex Voice. Sensor integration is documented; training recommendations are not independently validated.

3. **Start with a reversible test**: Follow the linked project source before changing the device. Back up existing configuration, keep credentials private and stop if your hardware differs from the documented version.

## Coding-agent project brief

Help me plan give your lifting sensor a voice coach using ADR Encoder. Read https://youcanjustbuildthings.openai.chatgpt.site/projects/submission-36218fe62a49fbc58d46d778c8c1b9e69b25f97cf607dcbc1fe63564b59dd8a2 and its supporting sources first. The encoder measures lift motion; the custom bridge and voice interface run on the Mac. Uses a Mac and Codex Voice. Sensor integration is documented; training recommendations are not independently validated. Confirm my exact hardware and required accessories, explain what is missing, and propose one reversible test. Ask before flashing firmware, changing privileged system settings or moving physical hardware.
