These are some pictures that we took as the project progressed. The pictures provide details of how we incrementally produced a working system. Click on the picture to see a larger image (opens a new window) |
|
Circuit mounted on a bread-board before the hard-soldered prototype was built. You can see the Level-Shifter (MAX232) chip in the middle, the Maxim 667 voltage regulator on the left & the PIC18F4520 on the extreme right. |
 |
The first stage of the mobile-unit construction. The video driver (green) was mounted on one half of the box. The hard-soldered circuit is lose on the top. You can see the various connectors attached to the prototype board. |
 |
Tim working on 2 computers to build the GUI! |
 |
The prototyping board & the GPS were mounted on the right-hand side of the tupperware box. We did not want to cut the GPS antenna, and you can see it wound-up around the prototyping board. The little temperature sensor on the left, top will be exposed to the atmosphere through a small hole. |
 |
The Bluetooth dongle was mounted beside the Video-driver board with a velcro, so that it can be removed & replaced if needed. |
 |
The GPS antenna was mounted outside the tupperware box such that it would face the sky when the box was worn on the waist. |
 |
The entire system without the heart-rate monitor installed looks as shown in this figure. It shows the relative position of all components & modules inside the tupperware box. The heart-rate monitor will be istalled where the white velcro can be seen on the left-side of the box. |
 |
The complete mobile unit (without the Eyetop controller & glasses) |

The locations of the user-controllable switches for the mobile unit. |

We developed a portable battery-level indicator during the course of the project. Here he is in his full-glory! |
