Milestone 4
Milestone 4.1: Optimization
Bluetooth to Wi-Fi
We initial planned to connect our devices via Bluetooth
After some testing we found it easier and more reliable for our prototype version to connect to Wi-fi and upload its data to firebase and then for the app to pull the data down.
Battery
At first we considered using a lithium rechargeable battery to power our censor bands
We came to the conclusion that for the prototype having a rechargeable battery and all the hardware associated with charging and balancing
Milestone 4.2: Delivery
Hardware:
We created 4 'bands' that will attach to your ankles and wrists in order to collect and send data to our application.
Realistically in the future, we would want to make the bands smaller in size, although they are small in size they are bulky looking.
Software:
We developed an application that pulls acceleration and impact values from the bands.
Milestone 4.3: Management
Application: Justin, Deven, and John mainly focused on this part of our project.
Hardware: Nathan, Ryan, and Corvin mainly focused on this part of our project.
Assessment: Although we have specific roles, both parts of this application play hand in hand, and everyone worked together evenly to accomplish our goal with this product.
