Hi all,
It’s my first time taking up this project and honestly speaking, I do not have a good fundamental background with arduino. Nonetheless, I had made some research on the net and frankly speaking there are lots of arduino products out there and I do not know which of them would fit to the criteria of my project.
I had did a draft on the time frame and planning about this project and the objectives for Phase 1 are listed below:
-
PIR motion sensors to be implemented in the system with wireless transmission of data.
-
Arduino to act as the base station in order to collect the data from the PIR motion sensors.
-
GSM shield integrated onto arduino for alerting the care-givers via instant message.
-
As long motions are detected, system will not alert the care-givers. However, if no motions are detected over a period of
time, arduino will send an alert mesage to the care-givers.
Yup, so these are the plans for the phase 1 of the project. I have plans to integrate vital signs detectors such as heart beat and temperature into this system.
I sincerely appreciate if there is anyone here who could advice me about how am I suppose to start doing so.
Many thanks in advance! smiley
