The Idea
TapClimb Gloves transform climbing into an interactive, connected experience. Climbers receive instant feedback through LEDs while their performance is tracked in real time through a mobile app.
How It Works
RFID tags are embedded in selected climbing holds along a route. The glove contains an RFID reader and microcontroller that scans each hold when touched. The system checks whether the hold is correct and provides immediate feedback through an RGB LED (e.g., green for correct, red for incorrect). At the same time, performance data such as time, score, and progress can be sent to a mobile platform like Blynk for real-time tracking.
Key Components
- Microcontroller
- RFID reader module
- Passive RFID tags (embedded in holds)
- RGB LED (visual feedback actuator)
- Battery pack (portable power)
- Optional: Bluetooth/WiFi module for Blynk integration
