What is this tool and what can be done with it?
One Button Trackers are small hardware devices which record discrete observations on the press of the button by recording when the button was pressed, for how long (and in same cases also how hard it has been pressed).
Different versions of this device exist, a first prototype was created by TOTTI Labs. And Gedankenstuecke adapted the Puck.js to turn it into a One Button Tracker.

Puck.js-based One Button Tracker
The Puck.js is a small bluetooth enabled beacon which also includes an accelerometer, temperature sensor and light sensor as well as a button. It can be programmed via JavaScript. Gedankenstuecke made a website which allows to turn a standard Puck.js into a One Button Tracker.
Pros:
- readily available to buy online
- comparatively cheap (~25 GBP)
- simple to set up
Cons:
- not specifically designed for the use as a one button tracker, thus:
- prone to accidental button presses
- website for data export doesn't always work as expected
- can break comparatively easily (e.g. when sitting on it)
