Building "Learn to Touch Type" Glove with Elixir and Arduino

Working as a software developer and having a degree in electronic engineering I always wanted to do something cool combining software and hardware. This desire took me on exciting journey from idea to building a prototype that would assist someone learning to touch type. In this talk I would like to take you on the journey from idea to final working prototype "learn touch type glove". It is constructed using a custom designed, flexible pressure sensor on under each finger tip. All sensors are plugged into an Arduino, which sends information to the server running Elixir. Elixir does the job of analysing the result coming from sensor and displaying it in the browser. Working on this project has sparked many new ideas which I would also like to share with you. I hope to share enough knowledge to inspired you to start playing with plugging in together hardware and software for your own software projects.

 

Talk objectives:

• Knowledge share about building "touch typing glove" with Arduino and Elixir.This talk is about my journey from research, choosing tools, making flexible tiny pressure sensors, plugging them into Arduino, reading information from Arduino to the server running Elixir, rendering result in the browser.

Target audience:

• Developers who familiar with elixir and phoenix
