Introduction
This week we have Two main assignments:
Propose a final project masterpiece that integrates the range of units covered, answering the questions below.See the Final Project Requirements page for a complete list of requirements you must fulfil.
I have to answer these questions in this document.
-what will it do?
- who has done what beforehand?
- what materials and components will be required?
- where will they come from?
- how much will it cost?
- what parts and systems will be made?
- what processes will be used?
- what tasks need to be completed?
- what other questions need to be answered?
- what is the schedule?
- how will it be evaluated?
What will it do? The final project is about a smart coffee table. The coffee table will have several power outlets to ease distribution of power within the living room. The coffee table will also have an interactive design that will boost the aesthetics of the room in lighting. The coffee table will also have power monitoring capabilities.
Who has done what beforehand? The coffee table incorporates the idea of an infinity mirror in lighting which has been done before in different settings.
What materials and components will be required?
-LED strips
-Microcontroller
-Power cables
-Wood
-Power sockets
-Mirrors
-Glass
-Bluetooth module
Where will they come from?
-Waste from within the Lab
-Purchased from electronic shops
How much will it cost? less than $70
What parts and systems will be made?
-Structure of the table
-Electrical Circuitry of the table
-Control module for the table
What processes will be used?
-Computer controlled machining
-Computer Aided Design
-Electronic Production
-Embeded programming
what tasks need to be completed?
-Creating the table parts and assembling
-Designing and producing the PCB for the LED controller and AC monitor
-Creating the interface for LED control and monitoring
What other questions need to be answered?
-What are the design specifications based on?
The design specifications are based on the specifications of coffee tables within the household setup, i.e. coffee tables should be two-thirds the size of the sofa within the the living room, the height of the coffee table should be adequate enough for placing items in use. The table should be strong enough to support specified common weight.
What is the schedule?
-Develop designs within 2weeks.
-Proceed to electrical and control design.
-Purchase Materials
-Produce the electrical board and test run it
-Assemble the table structure
-Assemble electronics and the Table
-Conduct structural and Interface testing.
How will it be evaluated?
-By the expected outcomes at the start of the project.
-the achievement of a structural design, control design, electrical design.
-The efficient implementation of the stated designs.
