Wearable Smart Sensing Insole

thingiverse

Understanding the orientation and distribution of force exerted by the feet can be extremely useful in preventing injury and assessing performance in various activities. To improve my skiing technique, I created a smart pressure and angular sensing insole designed to be worn inside boots with minimal discomfort due to its small and slim design. Each individual sensor sends data wirelessly to a mobile app, allowing for real-time monitoring of weight distribution and position or collective analysis at the end of a session. By analyzing this information, you can precisely understand what your feet are doing and make necessary adjustments for improvement on your next run. This knowledge may also be beneficial for runners and other athletes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prm_RUaQWmQ To complete this project, some understanding of electronics and micro-controller programming is helpful. You will need to purchase the following items: 2 x ESP32 Micro-controller (one for each foot) (https://amzn.to/2SXXEEp) 8 x 10k ohm resistors (https://www.banggood.com/custlink/Kv3GUE5ImF) Copper Tape (https://www.banggood.com/custlink/D3KKUhHZmy) Sheet of Velostat conductive sensing material (https://amzn.to/2wOCK2b) Printed insole templates 2 x WS2812RGB LED (https://www.banggood.com/custlink/KK3GBr7RcZ) 2 x Push Button Switch (https://amzn.to/2HWYWt2) 2 x MU-6050 Accelerometer (For angular measurements) (https://www.banggood.com/custlink/DGGG2EtSDo) 2 x 3D-Printed housing (If required) More details are available at my website (http://www.cabuu.com) and via Instructables (https://www.instructables.com/id/Wearable-Smart-Sensing-Insole/)
