Week 15 . System Integration

As part of this assignment, I first created a sketch (preliminary design) to visualize the structure and dimensions of the enclosure intended for the PCB. The sketch helped me plan the overall shape of the enclosure and determine the position of the PCB before starting the design process.

Since my final project is an outdoor art installation, it was necessary to design a suitable enclosure for the PCB. After completing the initial sketch, I designed a 3D model of the enclosure in FreeCAD, taking into account the dimensions of the PCB, its placement, and the mounting features required for assembly.

At this stage, the enclosure was designed only for the PCB, since the other sensors are intended to be installed in different parts of the system.

The work carried out included:

  • Determining the dimensions of the PCB and its components
  • Designing the enclosure according to the PCB dimensions
  • Creating openings for connection points, wires, and ports
  • Providing protection for the electronic components

The enclosure plays an important role in the overall system, as it protects the electronic components from potential damage and ensures a stable and reliable structure.
