Proof-of-concept needed for a wireless metrics device that will measure, provide feedback, and analyze a user’s movement. The prototype will need to be built on breakout boards but the majority of the programming will be completed through the MCU.
The project will require wireless transmission of data from 4-embedded sensors through bluetooth. Device will be used for a beta-test program.
Main components:
•accelerometer
•Bluetooth
•MCU
•custom PCB
Skills needed:
•sensors and electronics
•Arduino for prototyping
•circuit board design
•programming for microcontrollers and computer-based software
•wireless technology
Aesthetics is secondary; functionality is our main priority at this stage. Development may be split into two phases.
If this sounds like an interesting project contact us. Let’s schedule a gchat sometime in the next 2 days if this something you’d be interested in.
*Recent graduates as well as 3rd and 4th year college students with robotics experience are encouraged to respond. I’m open to hearing from promising EE/CS/CE college students. *This is a one-time project contract.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
