Attachable Crash Sensor
Utilizing force sensors, an accelerometer and a GPS/GSM shield, CLOUD COVER alerts the owner's emergency contacts through SMS text when they have been involved in a head-related collison. Our device determines where on the head the impact occurred, and whether a concussion/other head injury is possible using a predetermined threshold.
Main Developments.
-
Arduino
With the help of group members, my first Arduino experience went smoothly. Used multiple different sensors to develop electrical engineering and coding knowledge.
-
3D Printing
Taking on the CAD portion of the project alone allowed for design management. Through trial and error, a secure and compact case was made for the electronics while adding a touch of branding as well.
-
Product Design
It all begins with an idea. As the first major engineered project I was a part of from sketches to live demos, Cloud Cover demonstrated the full design process.
