PS Pedal Exercise peripheral for gaming Quang Bui Derrick Newsome Group 27 Quang Bui Derrick Newsome Exercise peripheral for gaming

Sponsor Proposed by Marshall Summar Associate Professor in Pediatrics who is specialized in dealing with disabled children Ken Roberts Experienced Engineer, MBA student with youth exercise interests

Project Background Parents cannot motivate their kids to exercise Kids willing to game but not exercise Some of the kids have disabilities that make it difficult to exercise

Market Background Device is for kids who have an unhealthy amount of body fat Obesity caused from physical disabilities such as down syndrome Children often become introverted due to their condition

Market Potential The product will be targeted toward disabled and obese children Doctors and pediatricians Rehabilitation centers Kid friendly fitness centers

Project Overview Goals Require exercise to function Useable while sitting Burn 100 calories per 35 minutes 20 minutes of moderate dancing 12 minute jog in place Be kid-proof Present to tech transfer

Project Overview Goals (cont) Refined prototype - end of February Make a kid-proof system

Features Integrate Pedal as exercise Disconnect controller after 3 seconds of no or low activity Variable resistance Playstation and Resistance Lock system Output of speed Warning signals when little or no activity

Previous Project 2003 Wired a unicycle to control the up and down arrows. Only worked for games that focus on holding up to play Use current generator to measure motion

Work Completed Designed the pedaling model and circuitry Prioritized the circuitry functions Controller Connect/Disconnect Red/Yellow/Green Indicators Calorie/RPM Ordered new parts to rebuild

Current Work Programmed the microcontroller to interpret data from optical sensor Redesign pedal model to be sturdier Build mount for optical sensor Build lock for PS2

Future Work Test the effectiveness of the pedal system Incorporate an LCD to output speed and approximate amount of calories burned Test functionality on different game types Test/Evaluate effectiveness using video disconnect for other consoles
