Week 16. Applications and Implications

What it will do ?

For Final project I am making a small air humidifier device that can be placed on a table in any interior. It is improving air quality in the area and also it’s serving as a lamp when LEDs are on.

Who has done what beforehand?

What will be designed

  • appearance of device

  • composition of parts and joints

  • electronics board and integration box

What materials and components will be used?

Materials

  • PLA filament

  • Acrylic 4.8mm thickness

  • Silicone

  • Pipe

Components

  • Fog maker

  • Addressable LED-s

  • Water pump

  • Water level sensor

  • Seeed XIAO RP2040

Questions to be answered

  • how water level can be low above the fog maker but full in the tank. How water can be delivered to the fog maker.

  • different voltage consuming outputs on one board.

  • electronics isolation from water.

How will it be evaluated?

  • Test board with all the outputs and inputs work in one system and able to be controlled by the microcontroller.

  • Different voltage consumption parts achieved with voltage regulation system.

  • All parts assembly with solved water isolation problem.

  • Programming the microcontroller to have an ability switch on and off the outputs and the inputs systematicly and in the right order.
