WEEK 10 - FLOW CHART, BLOCK DIAGRAM & HADWARE

 Activity: The Flow Chart, Block Diagram and Hardware

Designing Flow Chart

The flowchart is to know how the process to measure the respiratory rate. For starting switch on the sensor and wit for led to light up. If no led, try to press the switch again if yes it will move to sensor response. If yes, the flow goes to Bluetooth connection to the PC. Waiting for connection if yes, the green led will light up and the Bluetooth is connected. The it will gain the FSR data and signal wave. After that it will perform the complementary filtering.

The Flow Chart for my FYP is

Designing Block Diagram

This block diagram explains on how the project function. The first part is the input used by the forcing resistant resistor to detect the chess pressure exerted by the thoracic. The pressure obtained is processed by Arduino and the data is transformed from analogue to digital. After that the data will be transferred through the Bluetooth module to the computer or phone. The PUI will be able to monitor the respiration rate reading obtain.

List of Hardware

For this project, some component needed to completed the hardware. There are the some of the hardware that we need to do researches;

1 Arduino Pro Mini

2 Bluetooth Module

3 Battery Charger

4 Force Sensitive Resistor

Software:
The Software also an important thing to help the project running. So, the software used in this project are:

• Arduino IDE - call Integrated Development Environment is used to write and upload computer code to the physical board that can be done after running on the computer.
