Week 13 Applications and implications

Assignment

Propose a final project masterpiece that integrates the range of units covered.

What will it do

The pallet lamp has multiple functions. It is a lamp you can place on your night stand or on the kids night stand especially for kids who are scared of the dark. Using a phototransistor as a sensor, the lamp will be able to light up in the dark and go out when the light reflects on it.

Who’s done what beforehand?

birita-idali 2018

What will you design?

I will design a holder for the coils of the charger, the table.

What materials and components will be used?

Materials

  • 3 mm wood (need to determine what kind)

  • PLA filemant for coil holder

  • 2 coil wireless charger transmitter

Components - RGB led lights

  • Phototransistor

  • Sensor

  • Attiny44 microcontroller

  • Capacitators

  • 6 pin header

Where will they come from?

They will be bought locally or via Amazon. I will also use components that are available in the lab.

How much will they cost?

Product Unit Price per unit Total price
RGB LED strip 1 $ 5.74 $ 5.74
Neopixel ring 1 $ 9.95 $ 9.95
PCB wireless charger 2 coils circuit 1 $ 15.99 $ 15.99
Wood 3 mm 1 $ 2 $ 2
Plug adapter for charger 1 $ 2.77 $ 2.77

What parts and systems will be made?

  • The table using the lasercutter or cnc milling

  • The coil holder by 3D printing

  • PCB for the lamp by cnc milling

What processes will be used?

  • Designing in Fusion 360

  • 3D printing

  • Lasercutting or cnc milling

  • Programming the lamps pcb board

What questions need to be answered?

  • Which height and length I will use for the table, I already have this in mind but after getting the components I will have the precise lengths

  • How to position the holder

How will it be evaluated?

By the given points of the final project assesment

  • Create your own integrated design

  • Demonstrate 2D & 3D modelling capabilities applied to your own designs

  • Select and apply appropriate additive and subtractive techniques

  • Demonstrate competence in design, fabrication and programming of your own fabbed microcontroller PCB, including an input & output device
