Low-Power Ear Wearable Prototype
Designed and engineered by Athlete Engineering as a collaborative team effort.
Developed an ear-based wearable device for continuous temperature and environmental monitoring in demanding work environments. My role focused on hardware integration and implementing robust data transfer protocols.
Technical Overview
- Circuitpython firmware for reliable sensor management
- Custom PCB design for compact integration
- BME680 sensor for multi-parameter environmental data
- Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for wireless configuration and monitoring
- USB-C UART protocol for fast, secure data transfer
- Python-based GUI for real-time device control and data access
- Efficient minute-level logging for long-duration shifts
