Squat Support

For our final project we wanted to solve a practical problem that we did not see a good solution for. Our project, called squat support, is a barbell clip that allows users to actively see the tilt they have on their barbell and will also collect this data to be seen later. The devices main microcontroller is the ATMEGA328P which is on an arduino nano board. One of the main goals of this project was to make a good looking final product that could be actually used in the gym. Our device is wireless and compact, and can fit (sort of) tight on a standard 45 pound olympic barbell. Aside from the arduino nano, our device uses an MPU 6050 gyroscope/accelerometer as the main sensor as well as the ESP8266 for wireless communication to computers. Several topics we learned from ESE 350 are incorporated into our final project such as serial communication, timers, and interrupts. Other features such as 3D design are used in our project as well. ## Inspiration
