The helmet sensor data will be incorporated into mapping and video data for later analysis. This topic will cover the image and video capture system for the sensor helmet. There will be an action camera that will embedded inside the helmet. There are 3 current options for action cameras for this purpose. 808-16 Key FOB Camera, 720p – $50 from eBay 808-26 Key FOB Camera, 1080p – $100 from Amazon HackHD Camera, 1080p – $159.95 from Sparkfun I would like…
In my earlier post titled “Designing a Sensor Helmet” I defined the groups that the helmet is comprised of. Since the main purpose of the helmet was to detect telemetry, this post I will go into more details on the sensor group. The electronic sensors supplied fall into to types, analog (A) and digital (D). This will determine how the micro controller will read them. The sensors that will be incorporated into the helmet fall into 4 use categories, these are:…
I had posted earlier about the concepts behind smart helmets. I will expand on that with a fundamental design plan of a sensorhelmet. This project will start with a component list of the items that will comprise the sensor helmet. It breaks into 7 distinct category groups with sub components in most of those groups. Category Groups descriptions of the sensor helmet design and requirements. Casing – This is the helmet. Every…
