My Last Project In School

Wooot! Here goes my blast from the last requirement I submitted my whole academic life!! Hahaha!


The mini-project is basically a blood pressure meter. When you go to a doctor, you see a sphygmomanometer, a sthetoscope, a cuff and a pump. Here we use the Z8 Encore! Microcontroller to substitute the sthetoscope and the MPX5050GP pressure sensor to substitute the sphygmomanometer. Microcontroller tells us when to get the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and the pressure sensor tells us what that measurement is. More photos here!
