| Intelligent Crutch |
Strengths:
-
Know-How of ESP32 microcontroller
- Experience with
strain-gage force sensors
- Experience with energy-saving
on electronics |
Weaknesses:
- Existing crutch provides build restrictions
-
Little experience in front-end design
- Hardware
aquisition restricted due to Covid-19
- Group work online
due to Covid-19 |
Opportunities
-
Improve online working skills
- renew knowledge of
wireless communication
- renew knowledge of energy-saving
- enable long battery runtime |
Advance
-
Use ESP32 sleep modes
- Use existing sleep-mode code
- Use mostly premanufactured components
- Use 3D printing
for mechanical components
|
Develop
- Use
of GitHub for software development
- Measure the
dimensions of several crutches
- Use of video conferences
in team meetings
|
Threats
- Force
sensor damaged by overload
- Battery drain due to faulty
energy-saving
- Loss of logging data
- Loss of
communication between crutches |
Secure
- Test
software throughly
- Structure and document software
cleanly
- Test single components throughly |
Avoid
-
Overload on force-sensor due to shock loads
-
Over-discharge of battery by regular monitoring |
