05-833 Gadgets Final Project - PiezoWristBand

PiezoBand - 05-833 Final Project

This is my final project for 05-833 Applied Gadgets, Sensors and Activity Recognition in HCI. For it I created a wristband that recognizes various gestures done by the user, and controls the computer based on pre-defined shortcuts.

For the hardware, I used:

• Arduino Nano
• HC-05 Bluetooth Module
• 3 Piezo Sensors
• 3D Printed Wristband

To recognize gestures, I trained a J48 algorithm in Weka, providing a Kappa value of roughly 0.89, with an average accuracy of 90%.

In order to start the program, connect the bluetooth device to the computer, then run

npm install

nodemon

If the serial port does not open, check that you have the correct serialport included within the socket-routes.js file.

Version mismatch

Was getting an issue similar to the one below, where I believe the issue originated from a version mismatch in node-gyp. I solved it by rm-rf node_modules && npm install. Just in case anybody else faces this issue.
