INTRODUCTION
Model: PIC24FV16KA301
16-bits eXtreme Low Power PIC
• Model: TI LM62
• Detection range:
• 0°C to 90°C
Verification
Comparator outputs high when
901 mV is exceeded
Advantages:
Unaffected by changing temperature (compared to PIR sensor)
Unaffected by outside motions (compared to Micro-wave sensor)
Disadvantages:
Narrow detection angle
Unreliable with non-smooth surfaces
Verification
A 1100 uS pulse width was measured
when obstacle placed 20 cm away
Sample tapping sound before amplification Sample tapping sound after amplification
ANALOG VOICE FILTER
Verification
Measured 3dB lower cut-off: 560 Hz
Falls within 517 Hz ± 200 Hz
Measured 3dB upper cut-off: 1.48 KHz
Falls within 1.358 KHz ± 200 Hz
Measured passband ripples < 1dB
• Voice Sensor:
• Use amplitude detection: trigger alarm if the measured voice
voltage is 5% above or below the center voltage
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER WORK
Hardware: Software:
Use a more energy efficient CO2 sensor Implement a more advanced DSP
algorithm to only detect a baby's
Add a wireless module for offsite alert
voice
interface the alarm to the car's horn
implement a low battery indication circuit
Implement an algorithm to detect
Implement a reverse battery protection movement, regardless of the
circuit distance from the sensor
CONCLUSION
The
functionality of the baby detector device was fully
demonstrated
Lessons learned:
Conduct more circuit simulations before making the first PCB
PCBprototype should be easy to test: i.e. bigger board size,
more test points
Realize
our low power microcontroller cannot handle
advanced signal processing technique for the audio
