DOCUMENTATION Accelerometer Threshold*: 500

*256 is the normal acceleration.(no movement) Angle Threshold: change in orientation between 80 degrees to 100 degrees Angle on Standing: 0 degrees

How the test works: Trigger 1: Activated when the acceleration of the user exceeds the threshold acceleration Trigger 2: Activated when the Trigger 1 is activated. When Trigger 2 is activated, it measures the angle change of the user. Fall detected: Activated when Trigger 2 proves that there is a change in acceleration. This concludes that the program manipulates two output values from the user, which is the acceleration and angle change.

Ending lying flat Number of sample 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Trial 1 Fall Detected Fall Detected Fall Detected Fall Detected Fall Detected Fall Detected Fall Detected Fall Detected Trigger 2 Fall Detected Trial 2 Fall Detected Trigger 2 Fall Detected Fall Detected Fall Detected Fall Detected Fall Detected Fall Detected Fall Detected Fall Detected Trial 3 Fall Detected Trigger 1 Fall Detected Fall Detected Fall Detected Fall Detected Trigger 1 Fall Detected Fall Detected Fall Detected

*NOTE: Those outputs can change to more accurate measurement if we adjust the sensitivity of the device. The sensitivity of the device may be change by changing the threshold acceleration and the angle orientation of the fall.

There is a chance that there is no output from the device (Trigger 1, Trigger 2, Fall Detected) when true fall occurred. This occurs when the device logs and the output values from the device dont change. This problem can solve by decreasing the delay in the program in the microcontroller so the datas dont clog the port.
