Bedpan vs bedchamber and microcontroller uses for the disability wanted

[ez24]

Bedchamber is not a common word in the US and it means bedroom

When I first read the title of this

http://ijircce.com/upload/2014/april/19_AZigbee.pdf

my brain read "bedpan" not "bedchamber"

So I glanced over the article seeing temp, light, and fan.  Then I tried to figure out what the temp of poop had to do with anything.  Light maybe turn off and certainly a fan but temp ? I thought maybe they wanted the temp to go down before an alarm went off.  Or a high temp meant there was something there. ??

After reading the article and finding no "empty pan" feature I went back to the title and read "chamber" not "pan" and then looked up the word "bedchamber" and found out it is a bedroom. 

Well anyway if you have gotten this far, do you have any micro-controller projects to help the disability you would like to share ?  Or disability projects that you would like to see.

thanks

Who even uses the word 'bedchamber'? Even Google says it's archaic...

The writing style of that article seems like it was deliberately verbosified(?) to make it look longer and more complex than it really is.

Some fun quotes from there:

The hardware and software descriptions of the system will also illustrate how the system functions by analysis of how each of the components contributes to system functionality.

A 4x3 Keypad has been incorporated so as to type in values to set temperature values.

This signifies that one has to put the microcontroller into a mode where it can accept user input data through the keypad or push switches.

I mean, do you really need a whole paragraph to describe how a keypad works?

I've recently been trying to think of ways electronics could help those with Parkinson's Disease. Haven't come up with anything yet.

No worries..... Someone else already did.

Interesting - I think it is a gimbal  device, no mention of batteries but highly rated and expensive
