Story

For those who are wishing to get taller or the ones who is starting a journey of fitness and are bored to do exercise consistently then this device is for you. Jumping or skipping is one of the best exercise ever. Daily jumping exercise will improve heart health, improve bone strength, improve muscle strength, improves your mood etc.

But it is an boring task and we are likely to quit doing it even if you are trying to grow taller. so i've created the project to tackle the situation.

Overview

The project I have created has two parts, counter and timer. The main objective of the game is that the user have to touch an aluminum capacitive touch switch which is kept a little top above, far from the reach (so you've to jump to touch it). After each strike of the finger to the capacitive touch switch, an led turns OFF which was initially turned ON. After random interval of time the led turns ON indicating that you have to jump and hit the switch. Simultaneously, when the led is turned ON, the timer display starts counting up to 10sec. Before the timer reaches to 10 sec you have to touch the switch as it will stop the timer and depending on the time surpassed the counter displays the corresponding point.

The more delayed timer count will subtract more points from counter point. Thus making the user to touch the switch as fast as possible. This

increases the reflex of the user.

But still modifications are to be made further.

Making the Prototype

Using a breadboard create a prototype of the project with Arduino uno. The circuit diagram and the code for the project is given below.

In this project I have used a seven segment display for the timer display which is taken from an old circuit board. I have used only one section of the display remaining part is left unused.

Seven segment display

here, two displays have been used. One for displaying counter point and another for displaying timer. TM1637 seven segment module is a used for counter point.

Capacitive touch switch

The user is interfered to the device using the capacitive touch switch. It is made using an aluminum foil with a 1M ohm resistor connected to it. Two wires, send pin and receiver pin respectively is connected to the aluminum foil with 1M ohm resistor at the send pin

The send pin of Arduino transmits a pulse to the aluminum foil. The receiver pin receives the signal. The touch from our fingers is sensed by the sensor with the change in the value of the pulse. For instance electrons flow through the foil and when our finger touches the foil the charge from our body induces a change in the sensor value. In this way the touch is sensed by the Arduino.

Note that the capacitive sensor needs the Arduino library CapacitiveSensor.h which you can install it to an Arduino IDE library from internet.

Circuit

Before analyzing the circuit note that the pin mentioned in the seven segment display is just for reference only. The pin number of the segmented display and digital pin of Arduino should match in order to display the corresponding numbers. Please check it before fixing the circuit.

For powering the circuit you can use 5v power supply adapter.
