SmartHeatedJacket

Smart heated jacket that can be controlled from a mobile app. Final project for CS 437: Wireless Internet of Things. The heated fabric is heated using a PID controller with a thermometer as ground truth. There is also a pressure sensor (force-sensitive resistor) that tracks if the jacket is being worn. The jacket is heated through a Bluetooth server hosted on a microcontroller that is inside the jacket. There is an app that runs a BLE client that communicates with the jacket's server.
