Code and video. Red Balloon interface.

This code takes an input from a source and makes the balloon in the display grow larger until it explodes.

LEDS for Arduino code

const int photoresistor = A0;
const int ledr = 5;

int value;

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:

  Serial.begin(9600);//print values
}

  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

  else{

The idea.

To solve

Our project is designed to help young adults and adults to perform a better motor coordination.

How to solve

Focusing his attention to a bar, where he uses  flashlight o a lightning device to activate sensors, using photoresistors. The bar detects change in the light giving  an output in numbers to reach a goal.

Device main characteristics

●       Photoresistors adjusted to detect the light beam of a lantern.

●       LED’s to show the progress.

Feedback

The longer the light stays in the aimed photoresistor, the more LED’s the patient is going to turn on. More LED’s turned on is translated into an improvement in the motor system of the patient.  The patient may also be given a little price like  a popsicle or a candy.

Sensor Stand

The stand is the signature of our proyect. Created with balsa. in the picture below is an early prototype of what would be the aim.

 In order to make the desing more manegable we only added one sensor in the top of the tower.

 Below a photo of the early prototype of the tower with our close friend Yisus.

 More wood.

Red Ballon. Graphic Interface.

Yesterday we worked together to create the computer interface for our project. The picture above is an early draft of what would be the basic interface.

The objective of the red balloon is the receive information from then Arduino to the pc and be the connection interaction between the user and the system.

Communication sensor with Intel Galileo gen 2.

In this part of the project we are dedicated to the Arduino could communicate with a sensor in order to capture the environmental conditions.

Horseshoe sensor detects when something is in the way of the infrared sensors. The Arduino can detect the signal and make operations depending on whether the sensor is covered or not.

Benefits

Static position.

Pressure.

Muscle tone.

Hand strength.
