Up Down Vote Badge

Abstract

This project endeavors to generate a battery-controlled vote tabulating device (badge) with count capabilities for future analytical and behavioral study use. Goals: • To produce a battery-controlled vote tabulating device for analytical and behavioral study use, as Miami's Psychology Department sees fit. • To design the device so that there are two indicators, an up and down arrow mimics the vote tabulating machines in the episode, Majority Rule, from the Fox series TheOrville. The user, or other individuals, chooses their indicator based upon their, or others, reaction to behavior, where the device counts in an upwards fashion. • To display the device's count, choose and utilize smart components to connect the tabulating device to the internet via Bluetooth. • To create an application (App) interface that will display count results. This App design interface creation is to be done in conjunction with Miami's Psychology Department input once the general purpose (showing results) is complete.
