Applications and Implications
Propose a final project that integrates the range of units covered.
Normally we see people generally struggle to get out of bed early in the morning. It may be due to any reason for example they don't like sound of their alarm etc.
IDEA....
I am going to make a alarm system that will assist you to wake up in the morning. The idea is to design a bed that will be angled in the morning to wake you up.
What it will do?
This project will help to wake up in the morning without using alarm clock. The input will be taken from Real Time Check (RTC) module which will be given to the input board. The input board will receive the time and according to the set alarm it will provide signal to the output device board. Now Stepper motor which is connected to the output board open the curtains.
Who's done what beforehand?
This type of alarm systems are available in markets but again they are expensive.
What materials and components will be required?
Atmega328
Real Time Clock Module(RTC)
DRV8825
Stepper Motor
Plywood
Where will they come from?
Most of the components required are available in our lab. Real Time Clock module (RTC) and Stepper motor driver (DRV8825) need to be purchase form ebay.
What parts and systems will be made?
Bed using Laser Cutting.
Input Board (FabKIT V 0.3) using SRM20
Ouput Board (mount for Stepper motor driver) using SRM 20
Electronics Box Cover
What tasks need to be completed?
The 3d Design for the bed and mechanism are scheduled to be completed. After the design the part will be developed using laser cutting and 3D printing. The electronics part is almost completed.
What processes will be used?
3D Designs will be in Onshape, I'll be using it mostly for designing part for 3d printing, later on the entire machine build for simulation etc.
How it will it be evaluated?
It will be evaluated on the basis of ease of installation and cost as compare to other available products.
What questions need to be answered?
I want to evaluate the load that my motor can handle.
What is the schedule
My electronics part is completed. I will completing mechanical assembly in the coming week.
