Project - Stress Detector
As some of you may or may not have known, over the course of this year I have been working on a device, namely a stress detector. To be completely honest I'm still surprised I was even able to make it, as over the course of building it, I have learned so much about programming, wiring, testing and feedback. It was a full-blown project, and I can gladly say that it is now finished!
Having said that, I'm working on a better version of it - I am going to improve the algorithm and make some changes so it looks more like a ready made product rather than a prototype. When it is fully done I'll probably link my PowerPoint presentation (I've logged my making process on it). I don't want to go into too much detail about how I've made it, as this is just my first version. Once its fully done I'll do a proper display.

Below are some of the technical details about it (my first version), so if you dont really care then you can stop reading now (no shade intended).
DETAILS:
It uses a DHT11 sensor to measure skin temperature and moisture, as the 2 are closely related to stress
It uses a Raspberry Pi 2 model B
It is an armband design, which makes use of Lycra and Latex to absorb and insulate the heat, and trap moisture for the sensor
It uses 6 LEDS, 3 red to indicate stress, 3 green to show that the wearer is fine
The device works over the course of a week, 8 hours a day, showing the change in stress levels every 3 minutes, and then giving a weekly report on the 7th day to show if the person was overly stressed that week, or not.
I coded it in python
Thanks if you read this far <3
