This smart boxing band takes advantage of the new Arduino Nesso N1

Read on arduino.cc

Summary

Manivannan built a smart boxing band using the Arduino Nesso N1, a pulse sensor, and an Edge Impulse‑trained model to recognize punches and display heart‑rate‑based feedback. The standalone device logs biometric and motion data for post‑training analysis.

  • The Nesso N1 board supplies touchscreen, battery, and IMU, enabling a standalone wearable with only an added pulse sensor.
  • Edge Impulse is used to train an on‑device model that classifies hooks, jabs, uppercuts, and timing from IMU data.
  • Real‑time feedback is shown by changing the display color according to heart rate and punch type.
  • Punch events and biometric data are logged for post‑session analysis.

Hardware hobbyists and sports‑tech developers will care because it shows how to combine low‑power wearables, on‑device ML, and real‑time feedback on a single Arduino board.
