Inspiration

Ever since Joey was a kid, he did not know how to walk properly. He still walks on his tiptoes to this day and gets scolded by his parents. His parents got tired of telling him everyday, so Joey (and his friend Rachel) decided to take matters in their own hands and create an app to remind Joey and other idiopathic walkers to walk properly.

What it does

Heel Walker detects if you are walking on your tiptoes.

How we built it

With an ESP32 Wroom, we used its Bluetooth capabilities along with a force sensor to detect if the user's heel steps on the ground when walking.

Challenges we ran into

Bluetooth.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Force sensor works!

What we learned

Don't use Bluetooth
