About us Learning Company Bump registration
Udo van der Meer
For my graduation I worked for Muco Technologies BV on a new design. They wanted to design a new product for boxingschools, for example, to measure the position of the impact and velocity from a bump on the body's opponent.
The product includes a vest with hoses and a measurement unit. The microcontroller measures via an ADC, the pressurewave in the tube on the moment of the impact.
From theses measurements we calculated the velocity and position in the hose.
The position is used convert it into an XY position. The body is divided into diffrent areas. Based on the target surface and the speed of the impact, this gives a certain value that represents the effectiveness.
We also added an implementation of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard Freescale (a network layer). This created a star network from which multiple devices can be made. The bump data is sent wirelessly to a display unit. The display had various functions such as counting the bumps, displaying the speed of a bump and value addition.
Depending on the mode of display, one or more values would have been displayed. This mode is choosen using a single button (to keep it simple)..
