[Week 5] Poster & summary for the whole project

Github: UOL-Y2P-WearableSensor (all sub-repositories will be published soon)

Summary of the project:

During the first two weeks, the whole development was broken down to software and hardware, developed separately, with 3 students working on the software and 2 students working on the hardware. Additionally, the integration system was developed to interface the two.

In the third week, the whole path for transmitting IMU data was completed, however, during the integration process we encountered an issue with the Arduino which disconnected it from the server. Further investigation revealed that the internal IMU and the Wi-Fi module had signalling issues, which led to the issue. After researching, we determined that the root cause of this issue was a design flaw in the board. To address such issue, we made a hardware improvement to it, which effectively resolved the problem.

In the fourth week, the entire system was tested for the first time. During the test, we observed significant latency. However, through improvements to the server, this has been reduced. Additionally, an animation interpolation (smoothing) was developed, resulting in more fluid movement of the model.

[Week 1] A good start

Image
Figure 1: A recording of the first lab day. Overview for the four weeks: During the initial two weeks, the software and hardware components of the project will be developed separately, with 3 MRS students working on the software and 2 CSEE students working on the hardware. If possible, during the third week, the software and hardware will be integrated to create a complete system that can be tested on humans. The final week has been scheduled for additional debugging and refinement, if necessary. Progress in this week: Hardware 1. HW-Task-0-"collect ordered components" has been 100% finished. Next stage: Yixiao will be responsible for sending out the third component order, which includes elastic bands & screws. 2. HW-Task-1-"read single IMU" has been 100% finished by Aurora & Jiajun.          Next stage: move to  HW-Task-2- "read multiple IMUs using multiplexer". 3. HW-Task-3-"socket communication" has now s upported connecting to 2.4G ...

[Week 3] Code intergration & “no socket available!” issue

Image
  Figure 1: Schedule for this week. Progress in this week: 1. Code integration & the biggest issue encountered After successfully developing those two separate modules in the first two weeks, our next task was to integrate the codes. However, we encountered an issue during the integration phase, where the Arduino was unable to send IMU data to the server for more than a short period before the "wifi-modu le" reported an error with the message " no socket available! ". Upon investigation, we suspected that the error was caused by some improper buffer settings or memory leaks in the current socket module because the current module had only supported sending a single message to the server. We spent almost two full days revising and restructuring the framework for the socket module, and replaced all high-level statements related to string manipulation with "strcat", such as the removal of "sprintf". Despite slowing down the IMU reading rate , we...
