Yoga Timer

The idea behind our device is to allow those who practice yoga to have a sense of release while still being able to keep track of their yoga session. In order to do this, our device has the functionality of either timing your yoga session on how much time you want to spend on each pose, or will time each pose based on how much time you have in total. Additionally, you have two options for how you would like the system to notify you when to switch to the next pose: indiscrete for when you want to easily tell when the timer goes off, and discrete for when you are trying to sneak in some yoga in a quiet environment. To achieve this, we used a capacitive touch screen with an ESP32-C3 microcontroller to create a UI. A 2500mAh LiPo battery is used to power the system, and a 3.3V output buck converter keeps a steady voltage for the rest of the system. A custom enclosure was created to hold all system elements in a compact form. Some of our notable accomplishments include 2 student designed PCBs (one for the battery, and another that would have been for the microcontroller and peripherals) and a user friendly UI to control timer functionality and peripherals mode. Some areas for future development include fully implementing the main PCB and therefore decrease the system size, adding a battery level monitor on the UI, and implementing a vibration motor to fully differentiate the two system alert modes.
