Kaz's Final Project

This is where I will define my final project idea and start the documentation process.

Research

I decided I wanted to try and make a series of electromagnetic that can be attached to a shield that could be used to trap metal armaments against the shield.

3D Modeling

This is my initial design for what I wanted to do as a project, an electromagnet that could be attached to a glove, which could then be used to pick up small metal objects. However, I realized that was boring, so I decided to make a shield instead. Here is an Onshape drawing of what my project might end up looking like. You can find a link to my Onshape file here.

Design for Shield

In Week 15, I designed a beginning board that I might end up using for my project. However, I ended up not using this board because it lacked the necessary components that my project would require.

I also designed this board, which I is much closer to what I will need for my final project, as it has pins that allow me to use buttons to turn the electromagnets on and off.
