Upon reflection of our project following symposium, we determined a few main areas of improvement that could be implemented in a...

Once the electrical and mechanical components were all assembled and integrated within the crutch, it was tested under its use cases to...

Several changes were made to the crutch. An issue that was encountered when assembling was that the method for attaching the leg system...

A final step in the mechanical prototype process was to design boxes to hold the various electronic components. Specifically, boxes were...

Once the battery, buck converter, and Arduino perf board were all tested separately, we combined all the components for a full...

There were several aspects of the battery perfboard that needed to be tested. It’s input is 12V from the battery. Using the buck...

For the prototype model, we decided to use perf boards instead of PCB boards for time and accessibility purposes. There were two perf...

After resolving many of the issues mentioned in the last post, the mechanical components could be fully assembled. Spacers were 3D...

After testing the individual sensors and motor, a full system test was done. All the individual components were connected together using...

In early February, once the machining was completed, we attempted to assemble the components to test if they were fabricated with...

The next step in the electrical design prototyping process was to place the various pressure sensors on the crutch, and test for the...

In the week of January 24th, we had received our order from the EMS so we were able to start machining components. The 2 collars and 6...

The next step in the prototyping process was to test the individual components. In addition the code needed to control these components...

To start planning our software flowchart for this system, we first made a states chart, depicting the roles of each I/O device based on...

At the beginning of the month, we began collecting and organising the necessary materials and parts. For some of the more complicated...
