Pork-U-Pine

Inspiration

Individuals never know when they are becoming dehydrated. In order to prevent serious injury we wanted to take precaution in human safety.

What it does

A moisture sensor detects for sweat and translates it to loss of water an individual has experienced.

How we built it

Our moisture sensor is a piezoresistive fabric that when water comes in contact it's resistive properties decrease and current increases. A microcontroller will take voltage inputs and outputs, sending this info to a database where if an individual is dehydrated a flag is immediately raised.

Challenges we ran into

Coding was a main challenge, communicating between microcontroller and database has proven to be difficult.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Setting up a database and sending correct values from a microcontroller that we just learned in a day.

What we learned

As electrical engineers, we can't stress enough how coding is important to bridge hardware with software.
