Final Project
Final Project
Shadow swings or dry swings are considered an essential training method for sports that use equipment like rackets, bats, or clubs such as baseball, golf, and tennis. It is valued in the sports world globally for several reasons.
Acquiring proper form:
Repeated shadow swings help ingrain the correct swing or stroke mechanics into muscle memory, enabling accurate movements during actual play.
Improving rhythm and timing:
Focusing on the tempo during shadow swings helps develop a smooth, rhythmic motion.
Building strength and flexibility:
Slow motion dry swings or using weighted implements can increase the necessary strength and flexibility.
Mental training:
It enhances concentration and can be utilized for visualization drills.
The device I want to make for my final project:
I am considering developing a device to further enhance the effectiveness of shadow practice training. This device will involve attaching a sensor connected to a smartphone to the end of the equipment used in various sports. The sensor will measure swing speed and swing count during shadow swings.
Future considerations:
・Selection of battery
・Selection of Bluetooth components
・App features(Swing speed, number of dry swings, battery status)

There are two changes to the project:
For Assignment 13, I was originally planning to work on the Final Project using the combination of ESC32C3 and MPU-6050. However, since the nRF52840 Sense has an integrated accelerometer, I have decided to use it for development instead. For assignment 14, I will document the results using the nRF52840.
Additionally, I am currently investigating whether it is possible to use ML for development in order to accurately identify different types of badminton swings.
