Embedded Stroke Evaluation System Amanda Sweeney, 4ECE Supervisor: Martin Glavin
Presentation Overview • Project Description • Progress to Date • Work Remaining
Project Description • This project involves the development of an embedded system that will allow an occupational therapist to objectively and accurately measure the severity of stroke suffered by patients in their care • The system will measure and record pressure, force, position and speed of the wrist action, to allow the therapist to assess the severity of the stroke
Progress to Date • Strip Board - Design & Build • Voltage Regulator Circuit - Design & Build • Connecting LCD to MPU - IDE cables • Programming the LCD - To display text
Printed Circuit Board • Strip Board Components • 3 FSR’s • 3 83 0hm Resistors • 9V Battery • The sensors operate as a component of a voltage divider circuit • The outputs from the circuit are transmitted to an ADUC831 circuit board
Voltage Regulator Circuit • A voltage regulator is an electrical regulator designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level. 1. Input : Unregulated Voltage 2. Ground 3. Output: Regulated voltage
Connecting LCD to MPU • IDE cables to connect the pins on the LCD to the MPU made up according to pin assignment in T6963C datasheet
Programming the LCD … • After power on it is necessary to drive RST low for a minimum of 2 microseconds to ensure proper reset of the T6963C. • Initialize LCD • The controller must then be initialized with a series of commands to set up the various modes and options available to the user.
… Programming the LCD • Status Check • Before every data read, data write or command write the status of the LCD must be checked to ensure that it is ready to communicate with the MPU. • This means simultaneously checking the status of STA0 and STA1 i.e. D0 and D1 respectively, both of these must be “1” to enable command execution capability and data read/write capability.
