Wireless Movement & Sniffing Monitor

Using an XBee, Arduino, and some sensors (accelerometer, pressure sensor), we put together this wireless movement/sniffing monitor.  The device is powered by a 3.7V rechargeable Lithium Ion coin cell.  The small (4cm x 4cm) board connects via a magnet so it is easy to put on and off.  Optional LEDs can be used for tracking.  I am using the native ADCs on the XBee for passing signals.

In the next post I will put the Arduino code and circuit for receiving the signal from the sensor board.

The accelerometer is Analog Devices ADXL335: http://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/data_sheets/ADXL335.pdf
The amplifier for pressure sensor is Analog Devices AD627: http://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/data_sheets/AD627.pdf
The pressure sensor is Honeywell 24PCAFA6G: http://sccatalog.honeywell.com/pdbdownload/images/24pc.series.chart.5.pdf

The magnetic clip is made so as to connect the pressure sensor to a cannula on the other side of the connector and to prevent arbitrary rotation.

Here is a video of the magnetic clip:

Here are pictures of the device:
