Goals From Milestone 1 • Create an effective strap for the thermistor • Integrate all the systems with the microcontroller (Coding) • Solder all systems and test them • Create a smoother, more space-efficient enclosure
Solar CellKXOB22-12X1 • Each device will have 4 solar cells. • Solar Cells will be connected in series.
110mAhLi-Ion Battery • Each device will have 2 Li-Ion batteries. • Batteries will be connected in parallel.
Thermistor Testing • Contact Not much of a problem • Resistance Rises Rapidly over large gap • Slower over smaller gap (6 Seconds/10mV) • Not affected by any likely strap material • New Formula Approximation to find Temp
Soldering SMD Capacitor
Coding • Finished interfaces to heartrate sensor, thermistor, accelerometer, LCD, and flash memory • Finished USB MSC (15MB flash drive) for storing data files • Finished USB HID for live data transfer • Using this instead of Virtual COM Port for better compatibility (and no custom drivers needed) • Pedometer, temperature and heartrate algorithms are basically working • About 99% of the microcontroller’s memory currently is in use, so this has required a lot of optimization
Coding • Remaining items: • Finish user interface (menus, etc) on the device • Finish computer interface to a MATLAB executable • More optimizations and cleanup to make space for any additional changes • Test accuracy and performance of the sensors
GUI • Convert to .exe for stand alone program • MATLAB Compiler needed
To Do for Final Presentation • Have all the devices in their enclosure • Have a standalone GUI • Have an Experiment Manual for Mrs. Cao • Have an Operating Manual
