APPLICATIONS AND IMPLICATIONS

What should i do this week?

In this sixteenth week of Fab Academy, the goal is to propose a final project masterpiece that integrates the range of units covered.

Further learnings are listed below:

Demonstrate the 2 D and 3 D Designs.
Explain the manufacturing process used
Design the Electronics board, interface and program it
Think about the system integration process and packaging
Prepare a schedule and proposed finish dates including contingency
Research about the use of the project, inspiration, requirements and cost of components

What Will I Do?

Being a morning person is really hard these days cause of the distractions around us we become more lazy.Due to this pandemic situation and lock down its been long since i saw a sunrise, i always sleep late and wake up late. Its time to comeback to normal life and start hustling. My project is a carpet alarm that snoozes only when we stand on it for a certain period of time. This project of mine will be helpful to me and all the lazy guys out there.Its time to erase of the laziness inside us and be a morning person.

What Will you design?

I had to design the electronics as well as the mechanical parts for this project. I had to design a carpet that can hold the sensors, led displays and the electronics board. The electronics board need to be designed as well as need to be fabricated by milling.The materials need to be decided for the surface of carpet. 3D printing of the casing to hold the LED display and sensors. I choose an ESP8266 chip for my board because it has integrated WiFi and some gpio input for setting up the alarm.

What components and material we used?

1.Force sensor
2.ESP8266 Micro controller
3.Led Display

More Components and Materials are required,those will be added with price soon after i get access to the lab.

What process will be used?

1. 3D printing To make the casing for sensors
2. PCB Designing To make the main control board which include the ESP8266
3. PCB Production To make my main PCB
4. Laser Cutting To make the carpet boundaries
5. Vinyl Cutting For decorating the product

How Will It be evaluated?

My project is a simple carpet alarm that can make you a morning person or for frequent action to wake you up from work chair.My project is a minimal approach to solve a much bigger problem. This is a humble attempt based on my learning that I acquired during my weekly assignments. I would also like to develop it as a viable product.
