Force sensing shoe insole

Post by Mhassan8 »

Hi

I am working on force sensing shoe insole and would like to connect the sensor/s to a small and wireless circuit to track the movement of a person and send live data (XY chart/ time vs resistance or time vs current) to cellphone. I have just ordered these:

FLORA - Wearable electronic platform (V3)
Flora Wearable Bluefruit LE Module
Adafruit QT Py ESP32 Pico
Batteries and cables

I was planning to either use the Flora + Flora BLE together in a 3D printed case or only use the ESP32 Pico.
Would you please let me know which one is better for this purpose and help me with the code + user friendly software for both circuits.

Appreciate it.

I used the nRF52840 glasses board on my shoes to track x/y motion and graph to my phone. It took less than an hour to get going thanks to the Exercise Buddy guide.

The Flora + BLE would work, but it is a little more cumbersome being two boards and an older BLE implementation.

I've not seen BLE example code for the Qt Py Pico ESP32 in the Adafruit guides as of yet, just WiFi.
