Technology & Material
Method
Embedded System

Module 1 – Environment
- Ambient temperature [in °C] and Ambient relative humidity [% in UR or Relative Units] sensor DHT11
- LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) sensor

Module 2 – Locative
- Angular rotation on the X, Y and Z axes with Sensor MPU6050 (Accelerometer and Gyroscope)
- Distance from cane to floor [cm] with Sensor: Ultrasonic Distance Sensor HC-SR04
- Foot Sensor (Foot or Non-Tread) with Sensor FSR (Force Sensing Resistor).

Module 3 – M-Health
User's hand temperature [ºC] with a sensor Thermistor

- The data transmission is made by Bluetooth.
- For sensor integration it was used a Arduino UNO board.
- For data visualization it was used the software Processing.
