Progress so far is at pace. As an Estimate I would say we are 40% done, all of the electronics are collected and now are just testing the software. They can not be permanently hooked up until the shirt is done. Which is going to be a major hurdle, getting […]
IMAGE: Turns out open-source software can be a pain to use. The power is all there, but the interface is terrible and there’s been a lot of bugs to sort through. The embedded image is part of the trace layout for the circuit board, as well as a badly-done rendering of […]
These additional items include: What percentage would you estimated that you have completed for your project? I would estimate I am about 20% of the way there, but it will pick up quickly this week because now I can get the ball rolling. How much has the project changed since […]
This week I continued to work on coding and testing of the heart rate sensor. The software is what I have thought and continue to think is the most difficult and time consuming part of this process, so I’m not too concerned. I am, however, having issues getting consistent readings […]
Accomplishments: I re-soldered the wires to the accelerometer. I connected the accelerometer and got reasonable values. I redesigned the rash guard to hide the accelerometer with 3D printed pieces that I made. I bought a rash guard instead of using the wetsuit that I bought. I decided to do this because […]
This week I worked on writing code that would be able to 1. Find the start and stop of a rep and 2. Find the peak and average velocity from that rep. From talking to Kevin and WeightUp solutions, I decided the Olympic lifts would actually be the easiest to […]
Accomplishments: This past week Kevin and I finished modifying the code so that it accurately reacts to slow and fast movement. Our code takes the average magnitude of the x, y and z direction so a reading of around 1 (0.95-1.05) is equivalent to no movement. Slow movement gives values […]
