This is my second blog for the Summer of Sensors Design Challenge. Since the first blog, I had a bit of time to fully develop the idea for the project in my head, so the goal of this blog is to present that. I will go over my ideas for the mechanicalen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/summer-of-sensors-design-challenge/b/blog/posts/designing-a-small-health-monitoring-system-for-the-elderly---hms-blog-2---system-designThu, 03 Nov 2022 18:32:28 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:64aab2ca-4dff-459f-ba1f-4a322d20060dgenebren1<p>This is coming along nicely.&nbsp; I like your mechanical/electronic designs, but I would suggest to leave the Pots off the device.&nbsp; If you want to force data values, it might be cleaner to have another connector on the side (different that the other two connectors) where you could attach a debug panel (with pots, etc.)&nbsp; to allow you to enter values.&nbsp; This could clean up the panel and prevent confusions that might be presented to your Grandma.</p> <p>Good luck on you continued progress!</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=24717&AppID=381&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/summer-of-sensors-design-challenge/b/blog/posts/designing-a-small-health-monitoring-system-for-the-elderly---hms-blog-2---system-designThu, 03 Nov 2022 14:56:05 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:64aab2ca-4dff-459f-ba1f-4a322d20060ddougw1<p>You could try running a little MQTT server on a Raspberry Pi instead of paying for cloud services.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=24717&AppID=381&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/summer-of-sensors-design-challenge/b/blog/posts/designing-a-small-health-monitoring-system-for-the-elderly---hms-blog-2---system-designThu, 03 Nov 2022 14:23:05 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:64aab2ca-4dff-459f-ba1f-4a322d20060ddougw1<p>Looking good so far.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=24717&AppID=381&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
