Data-logger

STM32, ESP32, USB, IMU, 24 channel ADC

We had the privilege of partnering with Handi-Move, a renowned provider of mobility solutions for individuals with reduced mobility. Together, we engineered an intelligent logger that revolutionizes data logging for their motor steering device, enhancing safety, performance, and peace of mind.

Handi-Move's mission is to empower individuals with reduced mobility, enabling them to transfer safely and easily from their wheelchair to various essential locations such as beds, baths, showers, and toilets. To further enhance their motor steering device, Handi-Move sought a comprehensive data logging solution to capture and analyze critical information in real-time.

Our collaboration with Handi-Move involved the development of an intelligent logger with a wide range of advanced features tailored to their specific requirements. Here are the key highlights of our collaboration:

  1. Battery Status Monitoring:To ensure uninterrupted functionality, we integrated a battery status monitoring system into the logger. This feature provides real-time battery information, allowing users to track battery levels and plan maintenance or replacements proactively.
  2. 24-Channel ADC and 10 High-Precision Amp:Our intelligent logger is equipped with a 24-channel ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) and 10 high-precision amplifiers. This allows for accurate and high-speed data acquisition, capturing vital information about the motor steering device's performance and operation.
  3. STM32 Chipset:Powering the intelligent logger is the STM32 chipset, renowned for its reliability, efficiency, and robust performance. Leveraging the power of this chipset, we ensured the logger's responsiveness and stability, even in demanding scenarios.
  4. SD-Card Logger:We incorporated an SD-card logger into the device, enabling the storage and retrieval of logged data for comprehensive analysis and diagnostics. This feature provides a reliable and expandable solution for long-term data storage.
  5. ESP32 for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi:To enable seamless connectivity and data transfer, we integrated the ESP32 module, enabling Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities. This allows for wireless communication with external devices and facilitates remote monitoring and control.
  6. Backup Battery:To ensure data integrity and reliability, we implemented a backup battery system that provides continuous power supply during unexpected interruptions, safeguarding critical data during unforeseen events.
  7. IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit):The inclusion of an IMU enables the logger to capture precise motion and orientation data. This information contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the motor steering device's behavior and aids in performance optimisation.
  8. Python Test Tooling:We developed Python-based test tooling to facilitate efficient and thorough testing of the intelligent logger throughout the development process. This tooling ensures the device's reliability and performance before deployment, meeting Handi-Move's rigorous quality standards.

Our collaboration with Handi-Move exemplifies our commitment to engineering comprehensive solutions that empower individuals with reduced mobility. By providing Handi-Move with a state-of-the-art intelligent data logger, we contribute to the enhancement of their motor steering device, enabling accurate monitoring, diagnostics, and performance optimisation.
