Finally the project is complete.
Accomplishments:
Up till now almost all features have been completed except for pressure sensitivity. I used arduino nano as my micro controller and two pressure sensors placed at the front and at the back of the insole. A 9V battery was used to power the hardware. Hurdles: Not enough space […]
I have completed the software portion of my project but I will keep adding more features. Right now I am building the hardware, so I estimate that about 70-80% of the work is complete. Nothing has changed since the initial pitch, I just decided to add more functionality. However, now I am […]
I am now working on detecting bad posture and gait. My fall detection algorithm works. It does have a few quirks but those happen rarely. Now I plan to work on gait detection. Roadblocks : 1). Developing an algorithm that detects bad gait is more challenging since […]
So far I have been waiting for my materials to arrive. So in the meantime I decided to work on the software part of my project. I have been working on the app that will connect my phone with the shoe and extend its functionality. I also decided to to add […]
Accomplishments: Tested out parts. Made connections using alligator clips. Problems: Struggling with storing values in memory card which can be later accessed. Battery would not last long enough for LilyPad to function for a day. Next Week: Finish coding. Find a way to power it for a longer period of time.
Accomplishments: Ordered all parts. Starts looking at the sample codes online for help with coding. Finalized the design for the accessory. Problems: I have a hard time understanding the code sketches because of no prior substantial coding experience. Next week: Start writing the code. Try out all the parts.
Project Title: Anxiety Sensor Project Team Members: None Project Description: Use a pulse sensor, most probably attached to earlobe, to monitor anxiety levels based on heart beat. The product will log the data of heart palpitations and store it into a memory card in the form of number of heart […]
Project Title: Project Team Members: Tushar Verma Project Description: A device that will measure pressure exerted by the body on the foot at different points. The data will be used for creating a pressure distribution profile for that individual. This will be used to recommend whether arch support for the […]
