Count Your Steps
Introduction
- It will take the power of The Microbit
- To make a more accurate step counter,
- If the acceleration is greater than (>) 1000, the steps variable is increased to be shown after in the led
- Nowadays, automation is needed everywhere, so this project will help to improve your sport activity by counting the duration and the calories burned as well
General Description
It counts how many times the micro:bit has been shaken and if the acceleration is greater than (>) 1000, It stores this number in a variable called ‘steps’, every time the micro:bit accelerometer input senses a shake, the program increases the variable by 1, and shows the new number on the LED display output.
Once the steps reache 10 steps, the varibale called 'Calories' will be increqsed by 40.4 and the distance as well with 0.0006.
To restart the game, you press at A, and to stop the program and display the results, you press at B, it starts and stops after hearing a music from the speaker of the microbit.
The conceptual scheme of the project is as follows:
Hardware Design
- Microbit
- Buttons
- USB for Microbit
- Python Microbit editor
- Led
- Accelerometer
Software Design
Description of the application code (firmware):
- Press Button B to restart and to set the counter to 0 while hearing a music(power up)
- Once the acceleration is greater than (>) 1000, the variables are increased
- Measure the calories burned, the durataon and the speed as well
While true :
if accelerometer.get_y() > 1000:
steps += 1
counter2 += 1
display.scroll(steps)
if counter2 == 10:
calories = calories + 40.4
distance += 0.0006
speed = accelerometer.get_y()
counter2 = 0
The functions for Button A and B :
if button_a.is_pressed():
music.play(music.POWER_UP)
display.scroll("restart")
sleep(300)
calories = 0
distance = 0
steps = 0
counter = 0
counter2 = 0
time1 = running_time()
if button_b.is_pressed():
time2 = running_time()
time = (time2 - time1)/1000
music.play(music.POWER_DOWN)
display.scroll("Duration:")
display.scroll(time)
sleep(300)
......
