Inquiry regarding DVC gdrive_client_secret and OpenLIFU Tutorial setup

[yyejin9232]

I am a research intern at KIST, and we are setting up the OpenLIFU project using Openwater’s equipment. I previously sent an email to scott@openwater.cc on March 10th, but as I haven't heard back yet, I am reaching out here.

I am currently stuck at the DVC setup for the sample database. I understand that I need a Google Drive client secret to download the data, could you please provide this code or a way to access the files?

Additionally, I am trying to follow your YouTube tutorial, but I am having trouble with the following:

Empty Protocol/Session lists: Unlike the video, no items appear in my Protocol and Session menus. What is the required step to populate these lists?

General Workflow: As I am new to OpenLIFU, I would appreciate any guidance on the overall setup flow to reach the state shown in the tutorial.

Thank you for your time and for providing these resources. I look forward to your guidance.

Hello, the two problems you mentioned are linked: you need a database to supply the protocols.

The DVC setup was being used by developers till now, but we plan to switch to pointing users to this database: https://github.com/OpenwaterHealth/openlifu-sample-database
Try switching to this database.

Let us know it gives you any more trouble. You can also chat with Openwater at their discord https://discord.com/channels/1187061250379751475/1201593349623271535
I don't see where an example user password is documented there so that might be a roadblock. Checking.

Thank you again for your previous response and for providing the link to the sample database.

Following your guidance, I have successfully accessed the repository. However, while attempting to log in to use the sample data, I encountered a login prompt, and I couldn't find the necessary credentials in the documentation.

I also joined the Openwater Discord through the link you provided, but my server join application is currently under review, so I am unable to send messages there yet. This is why I am reaching out through this issue thread again.

Could you please provide the login information for the database or guide me on how to access it? Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could let me know around when the Discord application review might be completed.

Thank you for your time and for the resources you've shared. I look forward to your guidance!

I have sent a Discord server invite. I am on holiday this week, but I will try and resolve the login issue.
