Cushion sensor coding kit
How to use
In addition to the components of this product, the user must additionally prepare a USB cable, a PC, and a simple cushion (or thick cloth if there is no
cushion). This sensor is used inside/under a seat cushion. There are various methods to measure the output of the cushion sensor, but in this document,
it is measured through the Arduino circuit. It provides basic source code for Arduino and PC, and users can modify the source code.
Precaution is at the end of this document.

Manual - Cushion sensor coding kit
Model : Cushion sensor coding kit
Introduction
This product is a measurement kit that collects the pressure distribution data of a
seated person on a chair.
The product composition is as follows. (See page 4)
(1) Cushion type pressure sensor
(2) Arduino for measurement
(3) Arduino shield for connecting and measuring sensors and circuits
The cushion sensor consists of 31 individual pressure sensors.
You can get information about the sitting posture from the measured values at 31
positions.
This product provides the basic H/W and S/W necessary to measure and show data.
You can develop various application solutions using the measured data.
< Challengeable applications >
This kit can be used
-To develop healthcare solution : Monitor sitting posture to warn bad posture
-To develop input device : With the tilting information, you can generate a direction
key events and utilizes it as a VR (Virtual Reality) or game controller.
-To design ergonomic cushion/chair
-To develop for the disabled
Seated posture measured with this kit and displayed on a PC screen
SW development environment: Arduino, Processing
