My project is completed and successful! As a reminder, I wanted to create a sweat band that doubled as a timer to time how long a stretch should be held during the cool down part of someone’s workout. This timer, with a vibrating motor, allows for people to stretch for […]

A lot of changes as of late. The soft fabric touch sensor with the resistor will not work with my trinket after extensive testing and debugging. I am resorting to plan B which is a regular button. It will work just as fine and the coding will be easier to […]

I have sewn in the resistor and and connected it to the soft conductive fabric button. I have tested the coding again to make sure the vibrating motor works. I now I have to add the capacitive sensor code into my original working code to allow for the pressure button […]

This week I worked on sewing the soft button onto the outside of the velcro wrap around the wrist band to make it easier to access starting the timer over again. I also have been working on poster layouts and ideas. I am currently using the free website Canva.com to […]

I have figured out that there is a way to create a pressure sensor button without layering conductive thread with velostat. Instead there is a different program that I can download in order to create a pressure sensor reaction with just one layer of conductive fabric sewn in to the […]

I have downloaded the proper Arduino program to be able to work with the Trinket I have purchased to program. I have sewn in the buzzer and the trinket to the wrist band. I have edited one of the example codes and made it work to test the vibration which […]

This past week I finally got all of the materials. I made a test of a soft pressure sensor. However, it seems to be a little big and I am now more inclined to just use the switch to turn the device on and off instead of the soft pressure […]

Project title: Muscular stretching timer Project team members: none. (Brainstorm with other fitness projects) Project description: a slim wristband timer to measure the proper length of stretch Sketch/concept: — Inspiration: esthetically — the look of a compression sweatband Materials and costs: compression wristband, pressure sensor, vibrating motor, LED light, trinket […]
