We received the PCB back from the manufacturer in 2 weeks, soldering the PCB was done by the Manufacturing Division a week later. And we finally have the completed PCB, the next step is to design the 3D printed case for housing the PCB and battery.

Introduction
In order to meet the communication requirements for the ATeChToP device, such as requirement 11 to use BLE v4.1 protocol, the flash memory had to be programmed to meet the services and characteristic properties of the HM-10 module that Arxterra was scanning for. The following PowerPoint presentation introduces the layers of the protocol and then focuses on the top control layers the GATT and GAP that must be used when programming the flash memory.

Overview
This blog post provides an outline of experiments used to test the functionality of the sensors used for the wrist worn device. Results conclude the feasibility of the sensor data to be used for seizure detection.

Overview
This blog post provides insight into the CDR debrief for team A-TeChToP (the CDR Presentations were posted on an earlier blog post). The group did not perform at the expectation level of the customer and must improve before the end of the semester.

The 3D printed housing of the seizure watch will contain the PCB board which consists of the EDA sensor, accelometer, clock and the ATSAMB11. The electrodes’ wires will be connected to the EDA connector. Eagle CAD software was used to generate the PCB schematic and layout.

The chest harness prototype of the central sensor suite will have the 3D printed case which contains a printed circuit board and a 9V battery. The PCB includes the Arduino Pro Mini, accelerometer, temperature sensors, ECG circuitry, pulse oximeter circuitry. The PCB supports and electrically connects all the sensors to the Arduino Pro Mini. The schematic and layout were generated by Eagle CAD software.

After successfully creating an ECG circuit, the next part of our demonstration was to show that the output from the ECG circuit can be displayed on the Arxterra control panel found on the Arxterra website. The Arduino code for the ECG circuit was successfully implemented in the Arxterra firmware. We also implemented some code for a temperature sensor since the Arxterra Control Panel has a temperature widget within its structure.

In the past few weeks the housing for the seizure watch was designed and 3D printed as a prototype. The focus currently is on how the electrodes for detecting electrodermal activity will be placed on the wrist and how the electrodes’ wires will be running on the straps of the watch.
