17. Applications And implications

Individual Assignment:

- Propose a final project masterpiece that integrates the range of units covered, answering:
   - What will it do?
   - Who's done what beforehand?
   - What will you design?
   - What materials and components will be used?
   - Where will come from?
   - How much will they cost?
   - What parts and systems will be made?
   - What processes will be used?
   - What questions need to be answered?
   - How will it be evaluated?

1. What will it do?

   She shall be a resplendent sword that wields the divine power of a maiden goddess. It can evoke diverse magical glows by discerning her profoundest thoughts (indeed, by recognizing different gestures), empowering her to pursue her dreams and life without trepidation.

2. Who's done what beforehand?

The inspiration for my sword

3. What will you design?

   - The sword blade part
   - The sword guard
   - The sword handle
   - The circuit and PCB
   - The software programming

4. What materials and components will be used?

   - The sword blade part will use Acrylic to be laser cutted.
   - The sword guard will be 3D printed
   - The sword handle will be 3D printed
   - The circuit and PCB will use mictrocontrollers, LED strips and etc
   - The software programming will use arduino IDE

5. Where will come from?

   - The transparent Acrylic board from my LAB CHAIHUO SHENZHEN
   - The purple Acrylic board that I bought online
   - The PLA from my LAB CHAIHUO SHENZHEN
   - MicroController and electronic components from my LAB CHAIHUO SHENZHEN
   - LED Strip that I bought online

6. How much will they cost?

   The total cost will be 365 RMB
   - The transparent Acrylic: 50 RMB
   - The purple Acrylic board that I bought online: 70RMB
   - The PLA from my LAB CHAIHUO SHENZHEN: 80RMB
   - MicroController and electronic components from my LAB CHAIHUO SHENZHEN: 100RMB
   - LED Strip that I bought online: 65RMB

7. What parts and systems will be made?

   -The acrylic sword blade
   - The acrylic sword connector
   - 3D printed sword top box and the handle
   - Micorcontrolers and electronics system on PCB

8. What processes will be used?

   - For the design process of my project I will use the FUSION 360 program, which is what accompanied me throughout my entire FAB ACADEMY process and makes it easier for me.
From this, I will make all the parts of the sword.    - To design my board I will develop it in the KICAD program, where I will use MODS to mill the board together with the soldering process of my components.    - Finally, to program my microcontroller I will use the ARDUINO IDE.

9. What questions need to be answered?

   I think my biggest challenge is how to design in a way that can effectively connect all the parts together, while also having enough space to install the PCB board of my sword, etc., and allowing this sword to be easily installed and disassembled.

10. How will it be evaluated?

   Here I want to make reference to the instructor Salman Farris, who is a wonderful person who supports me at the FAB ACADEMY.
   - The sword should be well structured to be integrate LED strip, connector, PCBs while maintaing good connectivity.
   - The sword should be able to recognize at least two different gestures and the idle state.
   - The sword should be able to make different LED effects based on different gestures and state.
