PCB Design + BOM + Firmware Development for Fall Detection Device

Job ID: 39350860

Budget: €8 – €30 EUR

Hello,
We are looking for a freelance electronic engineer to develop:

PCB design (Gerber files)
Bill of Materials (BOM)
Firmware programming

Project Summary:
Development of an electronic board for a fall detection device for elderly people, worn around the waist.
The device includes two modules (front-left and rear-right), connected via a wire when the belt buckle is closed.

Each module must integrate:
A 6-axis IMU sensor for fall detection.
An ultra-low-power microcontroller.
Control of a 12 V – 60 W solenoid through a MOSFET (with freewheeling diode).
Capacitor-based energy storage charged from the main battery.
Solenoid activation time under 50 ms.

Power Supply:
Rechargeable USB battery.
Target autonomy: 2–3 days.
Standby consumption: < 20 µA if possible.

Operating Logic:
On fall detection by one module, a signal is sent to the other module.
Confirmation required within 200 ms.
If confirmed: both solenoids are activated simultaneously.
If not confirmed: no activation.

Deliverables expected:
Gerber files ready for PCB manufacturing.
Complete BOM with component references.

Firmware managing fall detection, inter-module communication, and solenoid control.

Thank you,
Louis
