Week16:
Applications and Implications

Missions:



Individual assignment:
1. Propose a final project masterpiece that integrates the range of units covered, & answering the below questions.


Individual assignment

This week I will finalize my project feature while including the following guideline:

  • the project should incorporate 2D and 3D design
  • additive and subtractive fabrication processes
  • electronics design and production
  • embedded 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


    • 1.What will it do?


    A humanitarian project that improves the quality of life through providing a reasonably arrange and storage solution for pills with a reminder.


    2.Who's done what beforehand?


    There are many pills organizer in the market but there are less options with alarm system.

    3.What will you design?


    In my project I will be implementing what I learned from fabacademy, my final project will consist of the following design:

  • 3D design the packaging & the pills organizer.
  • Electronic design the PCB board.
  • 3D design acrylic lid.

    • 4.What materials and components will be used?


    Packaging Materials:

  • 3D printing materials
  • Acrylic
  • Vinyl Sticker

    • Electronic Componenets:

  • atmega328
  • buzzer
  • Tiny RTC I2C Modules
  • Led strip

    • 5.Where will come from?


    Our Lab "FabUAE" provides the materials and components from trusted suppliers.


    6.How much will they cost?


    Packaging Materials:

  • 3D printing materials (PLA filament)= 30 AED
  • Acrylic= 10 AED
  • Vinyl Sticker= 5 AED

    • Electronic Componenets:

  • atmega328= 15 AED
  • Tiny RTC I2C Modules= 26 AED
  • buzzer = 2.50 AED
  • Led strip= 5 AED
  • Other electronic parts = 50 AED

    • Total cost approx. 144 AED around 38$


    7.What parts and systems will be made?


  • The packaging
  • PCB & electronics
  • system Integration

    • 8.What processes will be used?


    Design:

  • Fusion360 to 3D design the packaging
  • EAGLE to electronic design

    • Fabrications:

  • Roland SRM-20 to Mill the PCB board
  • Ultimaker 3 to 3D printing packaging
  • Universal PLS6MW to Lasercutting the acrylic lid
  • Roland GX-24 to vinylcut the letters on the pills container

    • Programming:

  • Arduino IDE for coding & programming the electronics components

    • 9.What questions need to be answered?


    What are the future improvements?

    Wave Future improvements:

  • Interface to enable users to alter the alarm timing.
  • Add extra containers for (am & pm).
  • Add medicine names in the screen when the alarm work.
  • Add consuming records
  • Add Bluetooth speaker

    • 10.How will it be evaluated?


    The wave project will be evaluated according to the smooth & successful working of the system integration and the overall packaging with the ability of generating the alarm (buzz sound, light blinking & screen notification) within specific timing.
