IMG_6901.MOV My project is a basic fitness tracker that uses heart rate data to drive different LEDs. For a low heart rate, or a heart rate below the target zone, the RGB blinks blue at the user’s heart rate. For a heart rate in the zone, it blinks green at […]
This past week, I completed the sewing of all velcro onto the band, which now makes secure closure and hiding of the board possible. I also sewed on the LEDs. This week, I just have to finish my last few stitches and attach the heart rate monitor either by soldering […]
This past week, I began the construction of the physical piece. As I planned, I sewed the two wristbands together, but only after deconstruction the bulkier wristband. This cut down on the bulk of what will be the final product, leaving me with a flap to cover the board instead […]
I don’t really have any new images as this week I still continued to work out the final kinks in my code. I am pretty sure I’m about ready to go with the software portion of this project, so this week I intend to progress solely onto the implementation into […]
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 […]
This most recent week of class, I was able to finally get to implementing code and testing the heart rate sensor now that it finally came in later in the previous week. Once I got the code all set to go, I used alligator clips to get the connections set […]
This week, I was hoping to have my pulse sensor in by Thursday, but unfortunately that was not the case. So, I continued research into materials for the wristband, and at this point, I am leaning towards some sort of elastic sweatband (perhaps moisture wicking). I am thinking about adding […]
Project Title SeeFit Tracker Project Team Members Connor Gallaher Project Description A wrist-worn wearable that monitors heart rate and basic movements, driving output through LEDs that give the user visualization of heart rate zones, as well as progress in their workout. Sketch/Concept Art Inspiration Materials and Costs Pulse Sensor – […]
For my warm-up project, I chose to create an alarm embedded into a pillowcase. I wanted to combine input via a light sensor to activate the alarm, driving output through the LEDs and the buzzer. In doing so, the purpose is to wake the user up gently. When the light […]
