Implementación de un prototipo alternativo de comunicación para niños con discapacidad cerebral leve en la fundación “Ayudemos a vivir” utilizando un módulo Arduino

Abstract

This project describes the construction of an alternative electronic communication prototype for children with mild cerebral disability in the "Ayudemos a Vivir" foundation. it has been observed that they have problems communicating due to their physical and mental condition. This project begins with the methodology used for the development and implementation of the prototype of communication, then describes the physical design of the prototype as the dimensions of the wooden box, the size of the acrylic sheets where the pictograms needed for communication were distributed, the scheme and internal electronic distribution for the implementation of the prototype. Finally, the implementation of the prototype, the operation of it, which begins with the identification of the child through a fingerprint biometric, is presented to give way to the selection of an option of the board, which is reproduced through a voice message using a DFP PLAYER MINI MP3 and a speaker. The message sent is stored in an external EEPROM memory with user name, date and time to send an email to the parents using a WIFI module.
