This is what our display was during Make-O-Rama. The members of Scarlet would answered any questions that were asked by the people that walked passed the booth. Additionally, the board that we had on display showed people that worked that we previous did with the pediatric wheel and the transition to the Eco-Bin. We also... Continue Reading →
Coming back from the spring break we're ready to continue our project. Our main goal for now is to begin coding our board to function as a communication device between the sensor and the phone via Bluetooth. Though setting up a program for this takes time and a lot of downloading if you're not running... Continue Reading →
This week, Scarlet was in the makerspace working on our mock prototype, coding, and app. For coding, I am the one that is heading this task, and I have been looking up programs that allow code to be read and transferred to the Galileo board. A Galileo board is a microcontroller that has 32-bit Intel... Continue Reading →
We have what we need on the bio-medical side, now all that's left for us to finish our slides for our presentation and to create our prototype. For us to have evidence supporting why we need these modifications to the wheelchair are important to persuade others to believe that this is a necessary step. Our... Continue Reading →
I'm sure everyone appreciated the Thanksgiving break and the amazing weather, but now we have to go back to solving the questions that need to be answered. Our goal currently is to finalize the measurements for the wheelchair and to find out how we'll go by doing this. While we do have a base we... Continue Reading →
After ranking our designs and choosing one that had the most of what we were looking for and prioritized, it's time to go into the nitty gritty details of our project and start finalizing some of the unfinished business we have. Our second design proposal is a formal written report that helps us develop our... Continue Reading →
This week, Scarlet continues to be in the "Tool Up" section, but now we are looking into the possible products that could be useful for the pediatric wheelchair as well as the needs that need to be achieved with our design. At the beginning of the week, we all sat down and reviewed the interviews... Continue Reading →
In order for us to understand the differences of a traditional wheelchair and a pediatric wheelchair and what can be improved, our research has to start with human bodies. In designing this we aim to work for the needs of a growing infant or child, the proper posture that we normally gain through activity as... Continue Reading →
