ABSTRACT
SIMPLE SYSTEM TO CONTROL WHEEL CHAIR FOR

PARALYSED PATIENTS USING MOTION SENSOR USES TRIPLE AXIS ACCELEROMETER MMA7660FC [I2C O/P] FROM FREESCALE SEMICONDUCTORS TO SENSE MOTION CONTROL EQUIPMENT FITTED ON PATIENTS HEAD OR PALM IS USED TO CONTROL WHEEL CHAIR BUILT AROUND RISC CONTROLLER PIC16F877A FROM MICROCHIP FAMILY TWO GEARED DC MOTORS ARE USED FOR MOTION OF PROTOTYPE MODEL

MOTION SENSOR
Triple axis Accelerometer MMA7660FC is used to sense motion
Uses MEMS sensing g-cell technology It gives I2C output for X, Y& Z axis orientation It acts as I2C slave while microcontroller works as master Slave address for this sensor is 0x4c I2C write built in address is 0x98 I2C read built in address is 0x99 6 bit output for each axis

I2C operation
Two wire communication bus developed by PHILIPS
SDA [serial data out], SCL[Serial clk] used lines Single Master [here pic mc] initiates it.

Series of Clk pulses from master

On Start Master sends address of slave to recognise it. Here sensor acts as slave and its address is 0x4c

ADVANTAGES
Easy to operate
Suitable for handicapped people Superior level of sensitivity

Better shock resistivity

Disadvantages
Module not interfaced wireless
Wired connection is prone to damage Difficulty in getting stable readings

IMPROVEMENTS
Sensor can be interfaced wireless using RF or zigbee or

similar communication modules Sensor can read tilt and shake detection and have greater scope of applications
