Weekly Update #4

This week I finished soldering the accelerometer and the neopixel strip to the lilypad. I have been working on coding. I have been recording numbers from the accelerometer and have tried out different code with the neopixels. I have been working on combining the accelerometer and neopixel code and have […]


Weekly Update #4

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 have really been struggling to get the equations of motions down, to give me accurate readings. I have the device set up to pretty reliably start and stop reading when I want it to, however I cannot get it to display any reasonable velocity readings. Hopefully this […]


Weekly Update #3

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 […]


Weekly Update #3

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 […]


Weekly Update #3

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 […]


Weekly Update #2

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 […]
