  1. ECE 477 Digital Systems Senior Design Project  Fall 2008 Purdue’s - Instrumented Football Helmet Research: Testing: Kevin Hughes Andrew Camp Construction: Criteria: • An ability to recharge and monitor an integrated (lithium ion) battery. • An ability to sense impact data using 3-D accelerometers. • An ability to alert sideline personnel when a dangerous hit is received. • An ability to log/timestamp impact data on a removable memory device (SD card). • An ability to remotely monitor real-time impact data and tune impact detection thresholds via an embedded web server. Adam Boeckmann Michael Olson Design: Abstract: The Instrumented Football Helmet is a standard football helmet that is able to measure, record and report on impacts to the head. It is equipped with a series of accelerometers that are able to measure the sudden deceleration of the head during an impact. It records impacts on a removable memory card and will alert sideline personnel if any hit is received above a threshold. An integrated web server will allow sideline personnel to adjust recording and notification thresholds at any time. Layout: Digijock(ette)-Strength Digital System DesignTM
