Applications and Implications
Propose a final project masterpiece that integrates the range of units covered.
Your project should incorporate:
- 2D and 3D design
- additive and subtractive fabrication processes
- electronics design and production
- microcontroller interfacing and programming
- system integration and packaging
Where possible, you should make rather than buy the parts of your project.
Projects can be separate or joint, but need to show individual mastery of the skills, and be independently operable.
See Final Project Requirements for a complete list of requirements you must fulfil.
Have you answered these questions?
what will it do?
- I want to make an umbrella.
- When press the button, the LED light comes out.
- Random colors appear when you move and when you stop, they are fixed to one of the random colors.
who has done what beforehand?
- It's not an umbrella, but this helmet is almost identical to the technology I want to implement.
- Smart Helemet here
What will you design?
- Traditional Umbrella with LED
- Most parts that make up an umbrella
what materials and components will be used?
- The wood that will form the frame and body of the umbrella.
- Traditional paper to keep the rain out.
- LED for lighting
- electronic components for controlling LEDs
where will they come from?
- Internet Purchase and Market
how much will they cost?
- umbrella body wood
- Hanji (traditional paper)
- Enough Neopixels
- Neo-Pixel Control Board
- 5v Battery
- I hope it's not too expensive.
what parts and systems will be made?
- Circuit board to control LED
what processes will be used?
- Overall umbrella design 2D, 3D
- Create parts for the umbrella
- Neopixel Control Board Design
- Neopixel Control Board Programming
- Assemble umbrella
what questions need to be answered?
- How can waterproof traditional paper?
- How do you design the Neo-Pixel Control Board What parts are included?
how will it be evaluated?
- follow the traditional umbrella design?
- Can control the Neo-pixels as wish?
