just another technology blog on “the interweb”
1. Contact the following people:
- Vincent, to work with on MySQL, PHP & Bluetooth
- Jeungah Kim, regarding thermistor temp translations
- Ob/Gyn, for background info on fertility tracking
2. Play with Arduino & BlueSMiRF:
- make it smaller (aka: wearable)
- research anti-microbacterial fabric
3. Build mobile app to send readings to phone
4. Web UI for inputting data
5. PHP for invisible page that plugs data into database
* USER TESTING!!!!
One of the core components of this project is the bluetooth device. I used the BlueSMiRF from Spark Fun Electronics. This will be placed within the wearable armband in order to track the body’s temperature. The potentiometer produces a large range of values whereas the thermistor gives either a 1 or 0. I am going to explore different resistors, as well as other thermistors in order to gain a more precise measurement.
The bluetooth device connects to the computer wirelessly, and did connect once to the mobile application which logs the data. However, the mobile application is no longer tracking data. I believe this is not an issue with the hardware but with the software. Currently, I am working on integrating the web interface into the MySQL database. This will allow users to enter data through a web UI and return a txt message during a certain point in each woman’s cycle.
Once this is working correctly, I will return to the physical and mobile components and get them to play nice together.
