Smart Bracelet Helps Elderly
// Sensor Tips

Working together, Belgian nano-electronics research center imec and UEST, a Belgian start-up company, have started the production of smart bracelet called Zembro. The wireless product allows the elderly to connect with their relatives immediately – anytime and anywhere. The key to successful use by the elderly is a clear and easy-to-understand human interface.

Besides using GPS location tracking and smart algorithms to autonomously detect emergency situations, the bracelet also incorporates:

Environmental light sensors3-axis accelerometerLocation sensing (other than GPS) through triangularization

E.A.T. ELDER ACTIVITY TRACKING SYSTEM (5)

Using a combination of 5 to 8 motion sensors and open/close sensors strategically placed in the home and wirelessly connected to a gateway that accesses the internet, sufficient information can be provided about the senior’s normal lifestyle. A cloud based analytics engine identifies the user’s living patterns and when variations occur, the system sends a text message to the smart phone of a care giver, family member or friend. The non-intrusive nature of the sensing and cloud analysis provides security and allows seniors to live without additional home support.

For the complete white paper from GreenPeak Technologies, click here for pdf.

The Sensara Senior Lifestyle System exists of a limited number of small sensors (5 for apartments to 8 for large houses) that are installed in someone’s home – a few motion sensors and a few open/close sensors. These sensors are installed at strategic places in the home (living room, bathroom, kitchen, hallway and front door) and they automatically connect wirelessly to a gateway that is plugged into a standard home internet router provided by their telephone or cable provider. Because these sensor devices are small, battery operated, and do not have to be worn, they are truly install and forget.

トラ技 2014-03 LPC11U35 PCB (3)

使用Keil uV + トラ技 2014-03 LPC11U35  是可以Debug 與 Download code.

但是用在LPCXpresso 就不行了！！！

トラ技 2014-03 LPC11U35 PCB (2)

1.Test LPC11U35 as UART -> Fail to install Driver 

2.Test LPC11U38 as Debugger -> Fail to connect to LPC810

3.Use FTDI board and Flash Magic -> Successfully download code to LPC810

Only profe LPC810 chip is fine. 

4.Waiting for another LPC812 board to test where went wrong.

Update:

1.Windows Driver Update Download Link  

トラ技 2014-03 LPC11U35 PCB

1.Drag and Drop update firmware.bin won't work on Mac and Ubuntu.

PS.You need to use "Terminal" program do use "cp" command. or Follow the screen shot!

2.No matter what filename you drag in, next time it will show "Firmware.bin"

3.If you delete the "Firmware.bin", next time it still will show up "Firmware.bin"

(You cannot really delete the file)

Apple ANCS with CC2540 (11)

Got a BLE112 Shield 2.0 from Seeedstudio to learn about ANCS. 

Apple ANCS with CC2540 (9)

1.I think it is still the Bonding problem.

2.From the picture on http://mbientlab.com/blog/ancs-demo-on-the-sensortag/ you will find out the device show on the bluetooth list need to Pair and after pair it will show a (i) icon . Just like normal bluetooth device.

3.But my connection is just "Not Pair" to "Connected" no asking for Pair and no (i) icon.

4.I don't know how to do that in CC2540. I will switch to nRF51822 next week.

 

Apple ANCS with CC2540 (8)

1.I follow the mbientlab.com's method. Modify the code.

2.The iOS and CC2540 can connect.

3.When it is bond I start the Discovery function.

4.It found the UUID of  ANCS

5.It found the UUID of Notification

6.I got the handle (I hope so) . The value is 0x10.

7.I Write 0x0001 to the handle.

8.I got Write Error 5.

PS. The Image's error is Error 3 because I mess up the handle value.

PS. I put the code I modify here -> Download TimeApp.zip

PS.My Board has Key. So I use Key_Up for Adv and press connect on iOS . After Connect I use Key_Right to Set Notify.

PS.I was wrong. The program still don't create the bond. Don't use the code.

Apple ANCS with CC2540 (7)

I found a cool page that descript how to do ANCS on CC2541.

http://mbientlab.com/blog/ancs-on-ti2541-in-an-afternoon/

Apple ANCS with CC2540 (6)

1.I have to go back to the begining . How to let iOS  connect to CC2540 and then Switch CC2540 Role from Peripheral to Central without break the Link.

2.There is a MasterSlaveSwitch demo code use 1.2 Stack. But I cannot compile it and it seems will break the Link during switch role. But it is a good starting point to learn how to Merge 2 role .

3.Pepple use CC2640 -> It support BT2 and BT4 (Need firmware upgrade). There are even less data on CC2640.

4.Will hang on CC2540 for a while . Mabye switch to nRF51822 after Chinese New Year if my CC2540 no progress has been made. (nRF51822 provide sample code to connect to ANCS)

TI Forum:

Alternate between Central and Peripheral roles

Apple ANCS with CC2540 (5)

I can subscript to SimpleBLEPeripheral's 0xFFF3 Notification. 

But I CANNOT subscript to Apple's ANCS Notification.

No clue. 

The possible problem is on the "Bonding". When I use LightBlue on iPhone 4 (6.1)  my iPad Mini (Run ANCS Program) will ask for Pair. If I remove the Pairing on Bluetooth Setting. My LightBlue won't work with ANCS anymore . I have to Restart LightBlue and re-Pairing then it work with ANCS.  

Best Reference TI's Forum 

Apple ANCS with CC2540 (4)

1.I try to set the Notification but it fail, So I fall back to connect to SimpleBLEPeripheral . It is also not easy,too. Beacuse there are few example on how to set Notification and most of them are not correct.

2.I make a few mistake on a)Got the wrong Charateristic UUID of 0xFFF4 it is 0x002f instead of 0x002e b)I should use GATT_WriteCharValue() instead of GATT_WriteNoRespon() c)req.cmd = 0, not 1;

3.Next step is to parse the Notification Message and try to port to ANCS

PS.The "MSG: 7" on the LCD Screen means, it has got 7 Notification. (BLEPeripheral will send out notification every 5 seconds)

PS.Another problem of why it is hard to debug is I cannot tell if BLEPeripheral has really got my Command from BLECentral. I don't know where to put my Log 

PS.The most useful ulr is this one.TI China Support Forum. 

Apple ANCS with CC2540 (3)

1.The UUID is in reverse order. 

#define APPLE_NOTIFICATION_SERV_UUID_128N        {0x79,0x05,0xf4,0x31,0xb5,0xce,0x4e,0x99,0xa4,0x0f,0x4b,0x1e,0x12,0x2d,0x00,0xd0}

This is the Normal one

#define APPLE_NOTIFICATION_SERV_UUID_128R        {0xd0,0x00,0x2d,0x12,0x1e,0x4b,0x0f,0xa4,0x99,0x4e,0xce,0xb5,0x31,0xf4,0x05,0x79}

This is the Reverse one

 

2.Now I can find 3 Charateristic , next step is to learn how to use the Notification .

 

3.nRF51822 got sample code for ancs. Maybe I should switch side. ....

nRF51822 Test (3)

Test new nRF51822 breakout board and new J-Link downloder.

Apple ANCS with CC2540 (2)

1.Use iPhone 4s 6.x run LightBlue

2.Select 7905xxx UUID you will found 3 service UUID

3.Pict the 9FBxxx UUID , set start notify

4.You will get notify and its data when you received a new Email.

PS.I use sandeeomistry's code on my iPad Mini to Advertizing ANCS UUID as peripheral.

iBeacon Scanner on iOS (4)

Add Support of 

didReceiveLocalNotification in AppDelegate.m

Source code at Github

iBeacon Scanner on iOS (3)

Test iBeacon's iOS Native Location Manager's Events. When App run in background LocationManager will send event about iBeacon Enter or Leave. The problem of this method is you can monitor only 20 locations and the response time is slow. When I turn on the beacon it show Enter in 20~30 seconds. When I turn off beacon it show Leave also in 20~30 seconds. I think there is no way to change this.

iBeacon Scanner on iOS (1)

Source code at Github

I seperate the iBeacon scanner as a stand alone class.

The setup screen's operation is not ready. I use fixed UUID.

ToDo: A state machine to monitor each beacon's enter/leave/stay time status.

拆開一台行動電源

I got 6 x 18650 Battery and 1 USB Charger for 18650

CC2541 SI4703 Radio Control

1.I change the CC254x board to use 18650 Battery

2.Add Si-4703 FM Radio board control.via I2C

3.We can use iOS to select Channel , not so excited :(

4.Source code https://github.com/tzechienchu/CC254X

ToDo: Start iOS Side Programming. 

CC2540 GPS Parser

CC2540 nmea code parser. Only parse $GPRMC sentence. We can have BLE GPS for iPod Touch 5.

031904.00 is Time

2503.37923 is Longtitude

12135.57185 is Latitude

Source in Git (SerialApp.c)

CC2541 SPI Flash Memory Test

Anything intersting to add on ?

PS.CC2541 + Si4703 FM Radio = BLE Radio for iOS. (But Earphone company could build this into the earphone, so earphone can function as FM Radio control by Phone or normal earphone)

PS.CC2541 + GPRS so we can use iPod touch 5 to make phone call.

CC2541 I2C IO Expander PCF8574

This one is simple.

CC2541 I2C OLED Display

Connect to I2C OLED Display 128x64. You can get this module from SeeedStudio 

I think I can build BLE control car , direct from CC2541 without Arduino.

ToDo: I2C Memory Access.

CC2541 I2C RTC using PCF8563

I don't know, why I need a RTC for BLE, maybe we can make a Clock that has BLE capability . Then we can use mobile phone to calibrate it. (Seems not very interesting).

I pick RTC is because that is the I2C device I have  that work under 3.3V

Email me for Source Code.

CC254x BLE UART (3)

I think, I can make every profile now. hahahaha.

This version is limit to send 16byte of data each time. No buffer control of the data from RX port.

ToDo:iBeacon Router via Raspberry Pi or full function iBeacon.

ToDo:OAD and myabe USB or I2C on CC254x

If you are interest in the source code, email me.

 

 

CC254x BLE UART (2)

Start from scratch, learn to play the simple peripheral profile. Add more byte to send out and more byte to read in. The I can put the data to UART.
