11. Applications and implications¶

This Week was about getting into details of Final Project. We had to find answers to certain questions

.1. Q1_What will it do?

.2. Q2_Who has done what beforehand?

.3. Q3_What will you design?

.4. Q4_What materials and components will be required?

.5. Q5_Where will they come from?

.6. Q6_How much will it cost?

.7. Q7_What parts and system will be made?

.8. Q8_What processes will be used?

.9. Q9_What questions need to be answered?

.10 Q10_How will it be evaluated?

.1. Q1_What will it do?¶

The smart trap :

Assures an Early detection of pest insects

*Contains a specific pheromone to attract the tomato leaf minner insect(Tuta absoluta)

*Stickey plate to apture the insect once entering to the trap

*Humidity detection

*Temperature detection

*A linear servo actuator to push the camera on button to take a photo of the stickey plate at a specific time

Pictures will be sent to your smartphone so there is no need to check the trap manually

.2. Q2_Who has done what beforehand?¶

I didn’t see any one doing a smart trap in the fabacademy before but is an available product in the international market It doesn’t exist in our local market in Tunisia

.3. Q3_What will you design?¶

The system main body
The 3D printed components such as :

Electronic parts enclosure

the cammount

the linear sevo actuator

PCB input and Output device Board design

. Q4_What materials and components will be required?¶

.Q5_Where will they come from?¶

.Q6_How much will it cost?¶

I have tried answering all these questions(Q4,Q5,Q6) using the table bellow

.Q8_What processes will be used?¶

CNC Milling: Used to mill the trap exterior shape and finalboard

Laser Cutting: I will use laser cutter to cut the side windows and the door from plexiglass.

3D Printing: In my project 3D printing will be used to print the linear servo actuator , the boardmount, the battery mount

Electronic production : To produce my board

PCB precision milling

Q9_What questions need to be answered?¶

*Is the linear servo actuator able to push the on button of the camera successfully ?

*Should I think about an alternative process instead of the servo actuator?

11. Q10_How will it be evaluate¶

Evaluate the input devices ((Dht should send the temperature and the humidity values to the LCD), The RTC should print the Time )
Evaluate the output devices :

*The LCD should display the data

*The servo motor need to move at a specific time

*The linear servo actuator should push the on butto of the camera successufully
