This week I finished up the final presentation and also attended and provided feedback on the final presentations for other groups (6 hrs). I also put finishing touches on the hardware box. This involved braiding and crimping a long wire for the heart rate sensor. I devised a system for ensuring that pulling on the heart rate sensor wire wouldn’t pull the wire out of connections in the box. I did this by tying a knot in the wire and threading the wire through a nut so that if the wire was pulled this motion would be stopped when the knot met the bolt. I also added a battery to the box to make it portable and added a switch to exterior to turn the battery supply on and off. Holes were drilled into the exterior for the switch and heart rate sensor wires to come out of.
Plan for next week: Work on final report
