+## Description
+
+This project implements a fitness tracking device using a microcontroller programmed in Rust. The system operates in two modes. In daily mode, it detects steps using accelerometer data, estimates distance and calories, and displays real-time information on a screen. In training mode, activated via a button, it uses GPS data to track position, compute distance and speed, and record the route. The recorded data is saved in GPX format for later analysis.
+
+## Motivation
+
+I chose this project because it combines several important aspects of embedded systems, including sensor data processing, GPS-based measurements, and real-time data display. It provides a good balance between hardware interaction and software implementation, while also covering topics such as data acquisition, processing, and storage in a practical context.
+
+## Architecture
+
+<!-- 
+Add here the schematics with the architecture of your project. Make sure to include:
+ - what are the main components (architecture components, not hardware components)
+ - how they connect with each other -->
+
+The system is centered around a processing module running on the STM32 microcontroller. It receives data from the sensor, GPS, and control modules, processes it, then sends the results to the display and storage modules.
+
+Main architecture components:
+- **Control Module** – handles button input and mode switching
+- **Sensor Module** – provides motion data for step detection
+- **GPS Module** – provides position, speed, and time data
+- **Processing Module** – computes steps, distance, speed, calories, and workout state
+- **Display Module** – shows real-time activity information
+- **Storage Module** – saves workout data for later analysis

+
+## Hardware
+
+The system is built around an STM32 Nucleo development board, which interfaces with multiple peripherals for sensing, display, and storage.
+
+An MPU6050 accelerometer module is used to detect motion and enable step counting. A NEO-6M GPS module provides location data for tracking distance, speed, and route information.
+
+A 2.4" display is used to present real-time data to the user, including activity statistics and system status. User input is handled through push buttons, allowing mode switching and interaction.
+
+Workout data is stored using a microSD card module, enabling later analysis. Additional components such as LEDs are used for status indication, while a breadboard, jumper wires, and resistors are used for prototyping and circuit connections.
