Concept and Motivation • This project will allow both kids and adults to enjoy jump roping in an innovative way. Replacing regular jump ropes with a rope of led lights that change color and display words/images controlled by embedded components such as accelerometers, our project will also calculate / “display” calories burned. • Kids are getting fat because they don’t exercise any more. Jump roping is a good way of exercise. We expect our innovation to bring fun back to jump roping and keep kids healthy.
Competitive Analysis • Valeo Speed Jump Rope • Regular Jump Rope • Our led lighted rope is more attractive to kids and can calculates calories burned • LED Blinking Jump Rope • A jump rope that blinks in a uniform fashion • Our product changes color / displays words based on usage. • Digital Jump Rope with Calorie Burn • A digital counter that keeps track of repetition, elapsed time, and total calories • Our product can display the results with led lights
Requirements • Functional • Keep track of repetition and elapse time • Calculate calories burned. • Allow user input for weight / display options • Changing color and / or displaying words • Non-Functional • Battery Operated • Ensure structural integrity of all components under normal usage • Flexible material for ease of use
Technical Specifications • Hardware: • LED lights • Embedded Board with LCD Display • Accelerometer • Software • C / Assembly
