Inspiration

What it does

Transmits sensor inputs from the arduino through UART to a PC that parses the sensor events and generates HTTP Post Messages and sends them to a remote monitoring system.

How we built it

Trial error and lots of energy drinks.

Challenges we ran into

Type casting nightmares. native HTTP libs on windows, Serial drivers for windows json parsings.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It works.

What we learned

http latency can create event issues when events are triggered to fast.

What's next for AU HACK_ing the Old People

connecting a bunch of pressure pads ;)

Just a side note on implementation of sensor systems, currently the arduino is recieving an active-low signal on the I/O registrer on PORTA and outputting it through a serial UART connection to the PC. when a sensor pulls a pin low it registers as a trigger.
