So where did we leave off, oh yes, finish up the survival suit. In the past week I got a lot accomplished, below is my "to do" list of things to complete from Blog #11. The list has gotten short, the project is almost complete, so little l...
1. PubNub.com has provided great tools for publish channel over PubNub service over internet, the website can response to the request by subscribe the channel, only subscribe key is needed for this service. Of course, this can be done by AWS IoT serv...
1. The CC3100 BoostPack can be plugged into the MSP432 lauchpad for wifi connection, with the following block diagram.with Hardware Features• 2x20 pin stackable connectors• On-board chip antenna with option for U.FL-based conducted testing• Power fro...
1. There have been efforts trying to make the whole Design work, baffled by capacity sensor.According to my research, MSP432P401 has offered great resource for capacity sensor for touching, motion with capTouch libraries. Since I mean to make d...
Deadline is closing and I need to be faster. This week, I created a circuit board and removed the breadboard. The original plan was to add methane sensor but I couldn't find any portable version for the helmet. Usual gas sensors have a heating el...
It has been a very hectic week including a softball tournament on the weekend, but I did manage to squeeze in some work on calibrating my gas sensor module which is based on the TI MSP EXP432P401R launchpad.The 18 turn offset and gain pots on my cust...
This week I've been sidetracked on a bit of a tangent to my build project.I was asked to make a presentation on invisible hazardous environmental factors.All I can say is the grapevine works in mysterious ways.Anyway I put together a 1 hour multi med...
The deadline for this challenge has been extended again, so I can squeeze in a few more blogs. Perhaps some real applications of all this instrumentation I have put together.This blog shows some quick tests I did to see if shielding makes a differenc...
In this article, I will demonstrate the Smart Helmet v0.1 I am always on the move so I struggle to find time but slowly going further. Let's summarise what have done up to now. I am using TI-RTOS. I stack the Wi-Fi booster pack to MSP432. Connect AD...
Hi Everyone, This will be a short update on how things are coming along. In the past week I have been fighting a bad flu bug so I didn't get as far as I thought. So, I have been wiring the power that goes to the heat elements complete w...
Hello guys, Have been busy for a while, shifting work place and buggy internet. So here comes this weeks blog post. So far we tried to sense vitals, struggled capturing the Data learning the launchpad and the buggy Energia IDE and my n...
After recognising having more than 4 days, I took a deep breath and heading to the working prototype. In the previous article, I have made a simple gate control. In this week I made some additional functionality and will demonstrate it on the video. ...
Hello guys, This week we gonna send the data received by the Edison to a local along with a Video feed.For now I'm sending out the ECG data, and the video feed to a local cloud, our pc. All the source files can be found in our Github re...
In this post, I will show how everything is coming together and works. After a frustrating 2 ½ weeks with my code not working with the temperature sensors I got that issue solved. I did post the solution but here it is again. There was an error with ...
Edit: The draft has been published by mistake, therefore, I updated it. I don't know why but it takes so long to implement access control with NFC. I think I put forward it because it is a separate design from the helmet. Hence, I use a passive ...
This design challenge is nearing its final deadline so the pressure as been building to complete the project.I finally finished building all the hardware and all the hardware is working well.The past week has seen a lot of 3D design work and 3D print...
This update documents progress on power up of the custom gas and UV sensor module. I did run into a few snags getting the card to work, or rather getting the software to work. The hardware on the card is designed properly, but it has just been too lo...
Hello guys, Sorry fornot updating for two weeks, my PC crashed lost almost all the files and I was also kinda stressed.. Trying to redo a lot stuffs, have been busy too..Here comes this week's update......So this blog covers the Bluetooth pa...
I'm not sure how much of an update this is considered. I am having issues with the temperature sensors (DS18B20 Temperature Sensors) which are OneWire. Now the issue is that they don't work on the MSP432P401R. I have tried everything in the past 2 we...
I didn't have much time so I used Arduino for the sensor board which makes design cumbersome to fit inside a helmet. However, I have some time this week so I created code for MSP432. ADXL345 can be accessible through either an SPI (3- or 4-wire) ...
I have been under the weather this week, which is unusual for me. It is just so much fun trying to build electronics when you are feverish, nauseous, dizzy and coughing up a lung. None-the-less, the show must go on. The first thing I need to mention ...
