My Contributions
- Built wristband prototypes that detected users’ hand motion via IMU and sent data to a frisbee through BLE.
- Built a frisbee prototype with an on-chip SVM model to classify the quality of a throw based on IMU data from both the frisbee and the wristband. The frisbee sent history data to Firebase through an Android app.
- Supported BLE data transmission with multiple peripherals and the frisbee played a dual role.
