OBJECTIVES
To develop an automated balance board
measurement system that can automatically record
the balance performance of the users.

The system must be able to perform the tasks below:
To indicate which direction where the board unbalance,
To measure the accumulate time for unbalance position
for each direction. (left and right)
To measure the maximum time that the participant can
maintain balance on the board.
To record the data collected as a reference.
