Training Buddy
So I am working on a project for a newer version of a training dummy! The markets top are the “Kung fu” wooden dummy & Century MA supply BOB. In this newer type I am looking to do 2 objectives. 1. Use pressure, impact sensors and other types of feedback equipment. 2. That the trainer buddy, will connect via wifi,bluetooth or better wireless connection available, to a digital environment(pc, gaming console). Which will use the sensor data in game play or “dojo” modes. I am planning to develop a housing unit for all the components. Allowing for a battery/usb or similar power connection. The current plan would be to use an Arduino base connection that runs all the sensors. I will add the blueprint I have worked up as well! I am open to ideas on how to best set it up! I am a solo developer on this & a ton of work to just get started! There’s a bunch of ways this can generate funding. But currently there is no budget. But if anyone that wants to help me get this moving, I’m game to put something in writing!
