Posture Pedometer Cummerbund

A wearable electronic device that indicates if you have poor posture and also keeps your step count!

How?

The design utilizes two inputs, two outputs, and a “brain”.

Flex Sensor

Pedometer Switch

Arduino Uno

Vibration Motors

Arduino LCD

Scorecard

Milestone Deadline Date

Finished?

Interface both pedometer and flex sensor on breadboard. (Major)

February 28 Yes!

Create second cummerbund prototype if needed. (Minor)

February 4 Not needed.

Design/Finish LCD housing. (Minor)

February 18 Design change due to bulkiness.

Finish LCD Arduino Code (Minor) February 25 Yes!

Additional Accomplishments:- Created pockets in the cummerbund for electronics.- Implemented Step Count Reset Button- Implemented Flex Sensor Delay- Tested flex sensor while cummerbund was worn.

Proof!

Flex Sensor, Pedometer, LCD Screen and Battery Pack!

Future Milestones

(Major) Integrate all electronics into Cummerbund

Deadline: March 22 (Minor) Integrate Arduino and battery pack into

Cummerbund Deadline: March 4

(Minor) Integrate flex sensor and vibration motors into Cummerbund Deadline: March 11

(Minor) Integrate pedometer and LCD into Cummerbund Deadline: March 18

(Major) Finalize and Fine Tune Cummerbund Deadline: March 25

Team Concerns

Strength of Cummerbund We want to make sure that the

Cummerbund is comfortable, but that it also has enough support to hold the electronics in place.

Fine Tuning Inputs and Outputs We need to test the input sensitivity of both the flex sensor and pedometer when components are in the Cummerbund versus the breadboard.

Race to the Finish

The Team will Integrate the electronic components into

the Cummerbund Test and fine tune the Arduino Code Write the Final Report Prepare for Founder’s Day!
