Baby SIDS Prevention Device
The purpose of this device is to alert the care provider that a baby has turned to a prone position while sleeping. Sleeping in a prone position could result in the reduced air intake. This could result in suffocation as infants under 1 year of age are unable to lift their heads causing breathing passages to be blocked. sup The device uses a MPU6050 Triple axis gyro to detect motion. When the position of the infant is turned greater than 100 degreee from a supine position a LED warning goes off. If the infant is rotated to positon of 140 degrees from supine positon the Alarm will go off warning the care provider that the infant needs attetions.
Either an Arudnio or teensy board can be used for this purpose.
The Processing PDE file can be use to observe the gyroscope posiston in 3d space.

2X 3.3V batterys for the teensy board.
