P12036: NTID Nofication Alert

Home

Project Summary	Project Information
There is a need in the deaf or hard of hearing community for a small and inexpensive module to serve as a mobile alarm clock or emergency alert notification device. This will be accomplished by controlling a bed shaker and high intensity lights as part of an application from a cell phone or similar Bluetooth enabled device. The Bluetooth chip and micro-controller will be modular in design such that they can be used in a variety of different applications. Higher intensity LED's will be implemented and flush mounted to the exterior of the device to allow for a brighter signal at a wider viewing angle. To improve mobility the device; it will no longer draw power solely from a wall socket but will house an internal lithium-ion battery. This project will yield a functioning prototype which will be smaller, lighter, and cheaper than the previous proof of concept design. A CAD package, circuit layout, and an instruction manual will also be delivered at project completion. This is the second phase of the project. Here is a link to the previous group and the progress that has been made previously.
