15. System Integration

  • Group assignment - [ ]
    • There is no group assignment this week
  • Induvidual assignment
    • Designe and document the system intergration for your final project.
    • Imlimented methods of packaging?
    • designe your final project to look lika a finished product?
    • document system intergration of youtr final project?
    • linked to your system intergration from ypour final project page?

Research

Well, I was a little unsure how to do this assignment, so most of my research was to look at other Fab Academy students’ sites to see what they did. I just went and looked at randomly chosen sites and observed what students did during this week.

The final project

what is it and what it´s pourpose?

My final project was supposed to be a chair, but in the design, it turned out to be more like a table than a chair. That doesn’t really matter because the idea was to create some kind of furniture from the beginning, so I will just call it a table from now on. I decided to make a small table that will interact with movements. It has a motion sensor and an LED strip; if you get too close to the table, it will turn on a light, and if you get closer, it will change color in two or three phases. It will be a safety feature in dark rooms., people will not walk on it, it can also serve as an night light.

System diagram.

I have already make the table it self , i did cut that out in the shopbot machine and the i made little plate fram dark plexi in the laser cutter to support the feet and for decoration, under the main plate i am going to get all the electronic and the LED stribe. The lED i am going to use is RGB and works on 5V DC this will all been powerd up with a powerbank.
The LED will be controled with ESP32C3 micro controler

Requerment/Learning outcome How itis coverd in the project
2D and 3D Design 3d case for the electronics
Additive and Subtractive Fabrication 3D printing and CNC milling PCB board
Electronics Design Making the PCB board in Kicad with motion sensor and output for LED
Electronics Production Using CNC mill, laser and soldering
Embedded Microcontrol Interface Connecting motion sensor to ESP32C3 and controling LED colors and numbers
Embedded Prograing Programming ESP32C3 to controle the LED´s reading data from the motion sensor
System Integration and packing Connecting all electronics to geather and power management
