I agree - I'm pretty familiar with 32u4. Maybe I'll buy one of each
(this is how the parts bin fills back up).

I want to keep it as light as possible as a wearable. I also want to use
the OLED featherwing, as it provides buttons along with a display. It
would be nice to view events on the screen with a timestamp for the
doctor's office.

I'm also going to try a LIS3DH, as it has "tap detection" in the
hardware and library support, which might work better. I suspect, in any
event, getting my particular event wakeup correct is going to be a
struggle.

Oh BTW, I found the source of the glitch/sec stuff in my EDF data: a
misunderstanding of for loop statements in python, ie: not 0 to 99 but 0
to 100. The source has been updated on my git repo if you want to pull
it.
