WEEK 16

APPLICATIONS AND IMPLICATIONS

What will I do?

My project will be a luminescent object that will help people remember to give themselves a moment to introspect and be with themselves. It does this by displaying a different question each day on an OLED screen, and will gradually turn on 9 levels of light until it reaches the top, where it will light up according to the enneagram. In addition to that, I hope to be able to implement a speaker, which I can control through an application on the cell phone.

Who's done what beforehand?

It seems to me that there may be countless lamps with an organic body, however, I could not find one with an integrated shade besides the following project:

What will you design?

  • I will design the two PCB's of the project

  • The cylindrical spiral base that will contain the LED strip

  • The body of the object

  • The base where all the electronics will be

  • The way in which the body and the base will be joined

What materials and components will be used?

The cost is in Mexican pesos, but you can make the equivalence in this link.

And, at the end you will find materials to which I did not assign a price because finally, either I rescued it from the scrap materials area at the university, or the university gave it to me.

What parts and systems will be manufactured?

  • The body

  • The base

  • Assembly srstem of the bosy with the base

What process will be use?

  • CNC Router

  • Thermoforming

  • Laser cutting

  • 3D printing

  • PCB fabriecation

  • Programming

What questions need to be answered?

  • How will all the components be accommodated inside the base, leaving enough space for the power converter to pass air?

  • How will a "locking" system be made to assemble the base and the body of the project?

  • How will the boards connect and communicate with each other?

  • How will everything connect and work with the designed interface?

How will it be evaluated?

  • Checking the communication between boards

  • Approving the level and quality of the speaker audio

  • Checking communication between interface and board
