Multi-Sensor Health Monitor - Arduino Project

 The final year project we've created an health monitor application which detected your heart rate along with the orientation of which you hold the device. It also indicates in various colours based on the amount of beats per minutes collected. 

There were many issues that occurred with this project from the thought processes to initialising how to make each part work then combined. As the weeks rolled by things became clearer and provided a positive outcome. The concept and development of this project was challenging as there was a difficulty reading the data with the leads and electrodes to the replacement of what output would be used. It was a constant trial and error with various amounts of researching and testing.

However, there is an issue where the electrodes work perfectly using just the heart rate and RGB coding but when combined with the MPU92/65 sensor it was difficult to spot where the mistake was.  Unfortunately, I was unable to resolve this matter although there was a purchase made for other electrodes but it was not stable enough to output the data in a large quantity.

I have found that this video is an improvement from the first one created at the start of the semester. 

Here is a link to the project as well as various pictures of the code and wiring made:

 Today we are starting off with Media Literacy which will be the building foundation for the upcoming assignments given. There are strategies when working with images, audio and videos. Although it is not about teaching the skills on how to create and edit, but to develop them as the weeks progress. Our first exercise was to open the Middlesex homepage and save the image to the desktop. Within that photo choose a small area to crop and change the colour balance, apply an artistic filter and save it with the BMP format. Original Image Edited Image The last exercise is to change the eye colour to shades of red and gold after the film "Twilight Saga". For this I was able to look for a tutorial on how from YouTube with the software GIMP. For this I used the photo of the 44th President of the United States of America.  Cropped Image Edited Image These tasks were fairly easy to achieve with clear instructions given. However, because these photographs are public property, I would ha...

MIDI Instrument

                 Using the Arduino Uno to make music along with SynthEdit To achieve this you will need the following items; Arduino Uno USB lead LDR Switch  10K resistor 220r resistor Midi to USB interface Plug your Uno board into the PC and check that the correct serial port and board is selected in the Tools tab. Before you connecting the midi to your board, open up the appropriate code under File > Examples > 4. Communication > Midi  and upload the file. Also, open up SynthEdit create a new file and drop in Synth PD303 . In Edit open preferences > audio & midi , change Midi in and out to USB2.0-MIDI. After plugging in the Midi connect the r esistor in 5V and wire in TX >1. This will create a sound going up in scale to ensure that the code was uploaded successfully. Within the Midi code in the for loop note is denoted with hexadecimal. 20 start   < 72 condition   ++ (add one to it)...
