Design Constraint Presentation Team 5: Sports Telemetry Device
Project Overview • Measure impacts experienced by football players to monitor and detect potential brain injury • Communicate measurements to sideline over mesh network • Analyze collected data as game progresses using research done by the Purdue Neurotrauma Group
Microcontroller Design Constraints • Basic computational requirements • Continuously sample accelerometers/gyros, store to NAND flash, send to sideline • Peripheral Requirements • SPI (Wireless Module), ADC (Sensors), USB Interface (Data retrieval/charging), Timer Module • External Interfacing Requirements • Sensors • Three 3-axis accelerometers (analog) • Two 2-axis gyroscopes (analog) • 2kHz sampling rate, preferably 12-bit resolution • NAND Flash memory • >= 8Gb • Ultra-fast read/write • Three capacitive sensors (power on/off) • RF Module • Low power consumption • Battery must last (at minimum) the duration of a football game • Low cost • Affordable for majority of families
