Characteristic

  • Unique Design
  • Can be folded, safe tÖ… transportation
  • Suitable for many type of rooms
  • With special abilities
  • Remote controlled

Your project should incorporate

  • 2D and 3D design
  • additive and subtractive fabrication processes
  • electronics design and production
  • embedded microcontroller interfacing and programming
  • system integration and packaging

Where possible, you should make rather than buy the parts of your project. Projects can be separate or joint, but need to show individual mastery of the skills, and be independently operable.

Planning working process

How it works

  • Detecting the movement.
  • When motion occurs, the sensor produces a positive or negative output signal.
  • Sends a signal to the microcontroller, Stepper Motor starts working.
  • The gears begin to rotate, gathering the thread around their axis.
  • By gathering and stretching the thread, the modules bend and move closer together.
  • As soon as the work stops, the rubbers pull the modules back to their original (straight) position.

What materials and components will be used?

  • Plywood
  • Acrylic
  • 3D printing filament
  • roller shaft
  • Screws, Bolts, Pucks

REG

What processes will be used?

  • CNC machining (Constructional Modules)
  • Laser Cutting (Constructional Modules)
  • 3D Printing (Gears, Wings, Packaging Box)
  • Drilling, Assembling parts (Screwdriver and nut)
  • Embedded programming (3 boards)
  • PCB milling (3 boards)
  • Soldering (3 boards, LED wiring)
  • Testing

What parts and systems will be made?

  • Gears
  • Plywood Parts
  • Acrylic Parts
  • Gear rotating mechanism
  • Prismatic/Revolute joint
  • Kinematic Joint
  • Motor Driver
  • 2 Boards

  • Roller shaft

  • Also my project has 3D designed components, which are my gears, that I designed by Fusion 360.

  • 2D designed parts are most used - all modules of my chandelier
  • I used both: additive and subtractive fabrication processes
  • I designed my own boards and used AtTiny 1614 microcontroller on it.

What questions need to be answered?

  • Checking whether the stepper motor can bear the resistance of rubbers and can rotate gears.

  • Check if the motion detector sensor is working well in my designed place, where I fixed it.

How will it be evaluated?

  • Project Overview
      • The purpose and functionality of my project
      • The design aspects of my project

  • Learning Outcomes

      • The parts and systems I created

  • Presentation

      • Slide and a ~1-minute video explaining my project
