USE OF EMFIT CAPACITIVE SENSORS ON CYPRESS CY8CKIT-049 PLATFORM FOR WIRELESS MEASURING OF FORCES OF THE FOOT

V diplomskem delu je obravnavano snovanje sistema za merjenje sil na podplatu in brezžično pošiljanje podatkov na računalnik. Razporejenost sil merimo z osmimi kapacitivnimi senzorji Emfit, za zajem podatkov pa skrbi mikrokrmilnik Cypress CY8CKIT-049. Podatke pošiljamo na računalnik znotraj brezžičnega lokalnega omrežja, pri tem za povezljivost skrbi modul ESP8266, na katerem je poleg osnovnih funkcionalnosti, potrebnih za prenos podatkov, implementiran enostaven strežnik za konfiguriranje. Izdelana je tudi namizna aplikacija, ki omogoča sprejem podatkov, grafično vizualizacijo in shranjevanje.Thesis discusses the formation of a system to measure forces on the sole of the foot and the wireless data transmission to the computer. The arrangement of the force is measured by eight Emfit capacity-sensors while the gathering of data is handled by a Cypress CY8CKIT-049 microcontroller. The data is sent to the computer within the local wireless network. The ESP8266 module is taking care of the connection, which, besides the basic functional needs for data transfer, also comprises a simple implemented server for configuration. A desktop application is also designed, which makes receiving data, graphical visualisation and saving data possible
