Introduction
This week, our assignment was to think deeply about our final project and how we wanted it to turn out. In order to do this, we were given some questions to think about, such as what does the project does, what materials it will use, how much it will cost, etc.
What will it do?
As seen on my final project page or my week 1 page, I want to create a smart adjustable desk that can be adjusted vertically using a mobile app.
The purpose of this project is that many people are face the problem of hips and back. If you stand or move around during the day, you have a lower risk of early death than if you sit at a desk. If you live a sedentary lifestyle, you have a higher chance of being overweight, developing type 2 diabetes or heart disease, and experiencing depression and anxiety.
The advantage of this desk is that we can work while sitting on the floor, sitting on a chair, or standing position.
Who's done what beforehand?
I have checked around the Fab Academy search engine, but nobody has developed such a thing similar to this. When I am scrolling Youtube to create new ideas while watching videos suddenly I got an idea through a weight lifter machine that works manually that is the same mechanical aspect as my project, But my application is different. I want to make an electronic desk I use a DC gear motor to connect with a microcontroller So I can easily control it through a mobile app.
What will you design?
What materials and components will be required?
Where will they come from?
most of the components and material are from FABLAB Khairpur, these are some components which I bought, the list is mentioned below:
How much will it cost?
I have tried answering all these questions using the table bellow
What parts and systems will be made?
What processes will be used?
What questions need to be answered ?
How will it be evaluated?
After the project is completed, we may adjust the smart desk using an android application and manual button and also measure the height of desk using ultrasonic sensor and LCD display.
