In this week,I decided to make a bluming flower.A device that senses the light and opens up ,when there is no light anymore it closes.
This project was inspired by my dear friend Amany Ayman,she is a lovely girl ,Lab specialist at Fab Lab Egypt, who loves flowers ,she was at
the advanced maker diploma and she had this idea to make such project ,we discussed it,
but due to the constraints of the program ,it wasn't possible.I decided to make a wooden demo of it,
and if she joins Fab Academy next cycle ,she could always do a better version.
So I started thinking how it could be done,I would need a sensor to detect light for example resistance that varies with light,actuator like a servo motor,
then I began designing the mechanism.
Design
I started making the 2D model and the 3D model of it.
Laser Cut
PCB Design
Then I started making the PCB for the project.It should be simple as it consists of 1 sensor and one actuator,I used atmega 328p ,
a bypass capacitor and a pull up resistor.
Here is the design of the PCB.
PCB Production
I repeated the process same of the previous assignmnents.
