Mid-Break.1 - A3 Prototype

 A3 Prototype

Using disposable straws, felt materials and some sticky tape, I tried to recreate a demo of what my prototype may look like. For the monitoring device, I am looking at created some sort of pouch that protects the catheter bag as well as attaches itself around the leg.

The straws act as the the tubing for the catheter bag, that you would be able to attach to the catheter that is secured in the pouch.

 

I plan to have the electrical/arduino components on the side, as side panelling...that will hook up to the battery pack..while I ideally would like it to be a wireless, it won't be for the prototypes to show how it works....The monitoring device will be linked to an arm band that show the notifications etc in a subtle way.

Week 13.2 - A3 Finalising Code

Image
 Yikes! lets begin with that. It has been one hell of a ride with this code. For most of the duration of A3 I have been trying to code infrared leds and transmitters...NOT BEAM BREAKERS. It was only until last week Thursday during our tech workshops that I was finally introduced to them. Thank God for that, I was about to pull my hair-that you can't seen under my hijab-out. The Beam breakers are amazing, whoever designed them is honestly my hero. While it has taken me a couple hours to get the code, (and its still not perfect 100%) they have taken my code to not working to everything is working as it should with the expection of the display screen that is clearing at the moment. But the detection is just amazin and how accurate it is and how each stage correlates with each other. It's late and I'm happy.  The video below demonstrates the working interactions, with a couple things missing (such as buttons) for how my design will monitor the bag and inform the user through li...

Week 13.6 - Code is working!

 It has been such a rush trying to get this code together and I still haven't finished. Since the beam breakers just came this Monday, I have been running around like a headless chicken trying to get this right and I think I finally got it. The video below shows a demo of my code and bow the sensors work together, how they go off when the connection is broken etc. I'm so happy that this part is over.

Week 13.7 - A3 Presentation

It was such a relief to have this presentation over with. I enjoyed walking around and seeing what everyone else did, their designs and their videos. The belwo videos is a quick video of my groups presentation and our products.
