- An innovative way to tackle the increasing problem of improper postures.
- To condition the muscles eventually leading to a habit of proper posture.
- Detailed analysis and performance report. To ensure healthy sitting habits and a backache-free society.
- The FRDM-K64F consists of an inbuilt Accelerometer and Gyroscope that is used to measure both initial reference and the corresponding changes when in use.
- When Posturainer is in calibration mode, the reference values are recorded by the FRDM-controller.
- Whenever there is a change in the posture beyond a certain level, the device starts vibrating. These warnings can also be controlled over time and frequency. They can also be programmed in a smart sense so as to notify the direction of slouching as well. A simple 5V battery source is used for the same.
- RESET button and multi-colour LEDs are also used for indications and user assistance.
- Main issue faced while implementation was Multiple Serial Communication at the same time. As we were using Accelerometer and Bluetooth module at the same time and both uses TX and RX for serial communication the signals sent by the sensors were getting interfered by each other
- It was resolved by changing the type of communication. The accelerometer used SDA pin to send data to the processor while the Bluetooth module continued using TX and RX for Serial Communication
