I decided to choose heater jacket with sensor as a final project because during extreme weather heater jacket with sensor would be essential since it can be helpful to those who are doing duties in northern highland.(mostly Dessups and military people of our country) The sensor in the heater jacket can sense the temperature and help to maintain balance heat to the body. It can be commercialize in the market as well after the prototype is successful .Durning pandemic in winter Dessup and military doing duties had tough time with the weather and the snow so I thought of making heater jacket with sensor. it can also be helpful to those who are doing northern border duties.for my final project i added this picture since after the mock challenge i got this idea to place my components and the number of required heating pads. i even added the 2d and 3d files to my fp and the screenshots. as sir suggested me to add the youtube link i added the link for my references, since in the video he uses the arduino lily pad i thought of designing a attiny1614 board. so for the input week, i tired to brain storm the whole final project in a paragraph but I need to do more research and design a board first and try using heating pads and for this week assignment I thought of using temperature sensor for my fp and pir for the weekly assignment requirement.

Circuit Diagram & Layout.

How it works.

The two 9V batteries act as a power supply to all the heating pads , the board, and to the sensor as well. The batteries which is running in parallel supplies or regulates for the MCU but the voltage is regulated by the voltage regulator. The mosfet in the circuit board boost the voltage for the heating pads. The sensor will receive the information of the temperature outside and then tells the MCU after that the mcu will pass the message to the heating pads to turn on and produce heat when it is below the thresh hold. Last time in the mock challenge i did the layout but only with cardboard and this time i made a little changes with the board, I made my own heating pads which was bit challenging since the normal wire made the batteries heated up rather than using the normal wire i used the nichrome wire. and i am waiting for the mosfet and the voltage regulator in order to make a circuit board to regulate the voltage and boost voltage according to the requirement.

The components I am going to use are

Switch button to turn on/off the whole system when you are not using the jacket

The input can be DS18B20 sensor

And the micro controller is Attiny1614

For 3D printing as i have mentioned below is the simple case for the component and switch button. and for 2D design I am going to use vinyl cutter for the logo.For the trade mark and copy rights.

So I am going to use temperature sensor that is DS18B20 sensor which can sense the outside temperature which ranges from 50 to 123 degree. for the output i am using my own made heating pads since the heating pads that i have ordered has not come yet and my final project dateline is coming near and near so I madE emy own heating pads. I am using 18v of batteries which are rechargeable. so when the temperature outside gets below or higher the threshold the temperature will send message to the MCU and it will supply current from the batteries to the heating pads. I am using one switch button which can turn on and off the whole system when you are not using. And the main brain of my project is i am using attiny 1614 where there is 3 header pin for output (Heating pads ) and 3 header pin for input (Sensor DS182B20)

Electronics & Power

  • Your Microcontroller Board: Attiny 1614 3 header input pin and 3 header out pin
  • Input(s); is DS182B20 sensor that sense the temperature at the threshold of 10 degree and maximum of 15 to 20 degree since our human body temperature is adapted to minium of 10 degree celsius and maximum of 15 degree after the if the heat is more the temperature sensor will command and the mcu and the heat will be reduced automatically by the output heating pads.
  • Output(s) ; home made Heating pads using 24v re-chargeable batteries, a Nichrome wire and a small piece of foam.
  • Power Source is from batteries that are rechargeable
  • Programming > Modules

    Input(s) - temperature sensor DS182B20 Output(s)- Heating pads Aggregation Logic plan for plenty of Debugging- My only worry is that batteries in the lab is not rechargeable and if my power source runs out i need to change the batteries time and again.

    Future plans

    After graduating fab academy I will be working in Choe-go Fab lab under Dessung Skilling program .So after my project is successfully displayed in-front of our domain heads. I will showcase my project in the lab as well as post about my auto heated vest on our official in Dessung skilling website. In the future I will also collaborate with military people if they are intrested in my project since it can be helpful durning winter season.

    Conclusion and Acknowledgment

    I really want to thank my first fab instructor Acho Drugyel, and acho Thinlay. you two are the one who inspired and introduced me to fab network, encouraging me every time that nothing in this world is impossible. i am always and forever grateful to both of them. I even want to Thank sir Rico who really helped all 6 of us tirelessly, we have never seen such a wonderful and inspiring teacher like him in my whole life, sometimes when i feel like giving up i look at sir Rico and get inspiration from him, like he always says there is no end for learning and in fab academy this is really true, i get to learn different things every time i play with electronics. In my whole life i was thinking i cannot do anything great that would make myself and my family proud but i think taking fab academy and taking this decision will be the greatest achievement for me in my entire life.Before starting this fab academy i was thinking i won't be able to complete this course but i think i didn't make a bad decision. I even want to thank Instructor zina who guided me and helped me to do things on time actually XD, I also want to thank Super-fab lab for providing a friendly environment for the past months and we could do our works on time even in off days.I also want to thank the staff of Super fab-lab who helped us to do the de-bugging and all. I will always and forever be grateful to all of the people who helped me till now to get through this fab courses. My fab journey was really amazing adn even fun , for the last few weeks when Rico came to Bhutan was one of the best boot camp for 6 of us we could interact a lot more then before. I never thought Fab academy would be this much stressful and fun learning at the same time, in the future i will encourage more desssup friends to do fab academy and let them experience how we de-bugged, how we enjoyed learning from each-other in those past 6 months .
