Schematics

FindMe Base

Base connected to Internet router. It will sniff the RF signal from the myRFButton wearable device, then send to Artik cloud the action ON/OFF.

SmartBag IoT Device

Device installed in the bag which inform its location by sound when the patient put the myRFButton in ON position

MyRFButton

Device with RF signal which transmits a signal received in Base and launch an action through the Artik Cloud ( STATE : ON )

Base Fritzing

Base of the FindMe System

SmartBag Fritzing

SmartBag device emits a LOUD SOUND so it can be located by an alzheimer patient who forget continuously because the memory losing.

myRFButton Fritzing

This wearable device emits an RF signal when the alzheimer patient push the button

FindMe System Schematics

Here, all the schematics needed to build FindMe Systems, and aid for alzheimer patients

Proteus RF Link simulation

Proteus 7.7 simulation of the RF Link between the myRFButton and the PIC in Base

Code

FindMe_Base.js

JavaScript
This node js source code is used in the Raspberry Pi B+ as BASE of the system. This open the serial port, a socket and the gpio. This base is connected to the PIC16F628 which listen the RF signal from the myRFButton controlled by alzheimer patient. When the patient push the button, this sends a signal to thorugh the 434 MHz RF Link, the PIC16F628 listen this signal and sends the ON message to the Raspberry Pi B+ by the serial port; that simple. Then the Base sends data to Artik Cloud.
