This week I worked on putting together code for the accelerometer and the RGB led strip. I worked on the accelerometer and the led strip separately. I also went to a thrift shop to buy wetsuits to use for the wetsuit top. I am considering attaching the sleeves to a wetsuit […]
On Tuesday I struggled the entire class, trying to figure out which pins on the Simblee lilypad supported I2C communication, in order to talk to my sensor. I emailed Simblee that night, and they got back to me pretty quickly, so I was able to successfully connect my IMU sensor […]
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 […]
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 […]
This week I worked on the accelerometer portion of my project. I soldered wires to the accelerometer because when I tried using conductive thread it was too close together. After that, I used alligator clips to hook up the accelerometer and ran some basic code to get numbers. I also […]
This week I worked on installing the right library, and finding the right lines of code to establish a connection between the Simblee Bluetooth chip and and the Simblee iOS app. After this I created a quick rough draft of a user interface. I also worked on the wiring between […]
Project Title: Speed Rashguard Project Team Member: Erica Lewis Project Description I would like to create a rashguard that changes color depending on movement. For example, at slower speeds it might show a yellow color where at faster speeds it might show a green color. It would be ideal to […]
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 – […]
Project Title: Drago Project Team Members: Kevin Krieg Project Description A compression forearm sleeve that will track the user’s movement during weightlifting exercises, and then display metrics (acceleration, power output, bar path, range of motion, ect.) about each rep/set to the user’s phone. Additional ambitious goals would be for the […]
