Aim
The aim of the project is to count the pushups
Problem statement
Keeping track of pushups during a workout can be cumbersome. The challenge is to develop an automatic pushup counter system that accurately detects and records the number of pushups performed in real-time, providing a convenient and reliable solution for fitness enthusiasts
Material used
Input: Ultrasonic sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Buzzer + RGB LED
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
Ultrasonic sensor
The function of Ultrasonic sensor is to detect the object and send the signal to the Brain unit (TinkerSpace board).
Buzzer
The function of the Buzzer is to produce alert
LCD Display
The function of the LCD Display to display the message
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor Ultrasonic Sensor and control the Buzzer and RGB LED.
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case 1: When one pushup is detected with the range of less than 20CM , the Ultrasonic sensor(input) turns ON sends signal 1 to the TinkerSpace Sensor board(brain). The sensor boards turns on the Buzzer(Output)and LCD display.LCD Displays the adds one count on the Display(output)
Case 2: When no pushup is detected with the range of less than 20CM , the Ultrasonic sensor(input) turns OFF sends signal 0 to the TinkerSpace Sensor board(brain). The sensor boards turns OFF the Buzzer(Output)and LCD display.
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Open TCode App -> Create New project -> Open DesignSpace
Step 2: Connect the Ultrasonic sensor to INPUT 3 of the Brain board.
Step 3: Connect Buzzer and RGB LED to Output 1 and Output 3 of the Brain Board.
Step 4: Connect supply and test project.
