what will it do?


One day, after a hard event, where I thought to leave the academy, I met Midori's friend (Midori is my colleague, he is taking academy too). This guy in brief is a man whose mission is to change the negative energy into positive. I felt it. He teach us yoga, we talked for many hours and show us juggling with the clubs. This is the moment where I thought to do juggling clubs, manufacture from scratch, why not If I was taking a diploma where is possible to do almost anything.

Their clubs caught my attention, because those had lights and using a magnet were possible to turn on. I asked to my friend called Agnideva about the price because I wanted to buy 3 at least. Surprise!!! Each one costs 100.00 USD. Click here! I decided to make my own lower-price club with same characteristics.

The club that I am going to make going to be resistent to falls, it has leds which change of colors (using a magnet too) and most important low-price. In this way, people can have fun. To enjoy the life, smile, do different activities, forget a moment of routine and live life.


who has done what beforehand?


I research the internet looking for ideas. I found many tutorials, people, videos where show how to make clubs using plastic bottles, wood stick and different recycled materials. It help me to understand how is assembled. I could not find something similar to what I want to do.

Here, a video.


what materials and components will be required?



Hardware:

-Fiberglass

-Crystal resin (part A / part B)

-Plywood 18mm

-Vaseline

-Surgical gloves

-Acrylic 5mm

Electronics:

-Hall effect sensor board

-Jhonduino (version of fabduino designed for my project)

-Cables 16AWG

-LEDs RGB board

-Battery

-Charger for battery



where will they come from?



Hardware:

-Fiberglass: FabLab Tecsup

-Crystal resin (part A / part B): local supplier

-Plywood 18mm: FabLab Tecsup

-Vaseline: local supplier

-Surgical gloves: FabLab Tecsup

-Acrylic 5mm: FabLab Tecsup

Electronics:

-Hall effect sensor board: FabLab Tecsup

-Jhonduino (version of fabduino designed for my project): FabLab Tecsup

-Cables 16AWG: local supplier

-LEDs RGB board: FabLab Tecsup

-Battery: local supplier

-Charger for battery: local supplier



how much will it cost?





what parts and systems will be made?



Hardware:

-Molds to composite

-Chassis of clubs

-Internal acrylic holder

Electronics:

-Main board, is Jhonduino using only the necessary and other configurations

-LED RGB boards

-Magnetic sensor board



what processes will be used?



-Composites

-Molding and casting

-Router CNC and 3D

-Laser cut

-Electronics design

-Electronics production

-Input devices

-Output devices

-Programming



what tasks need to be completed?



-Design and mill main board

-Mill hall effect sensor board

-Mill LED RGB boards

-Cut acrylic holder

-Assemble the pieces

-Make one more composite part of juggling club



what questions need to be answered?



-Will it only be necessary the acrylic to join both parts of the club?

-Can the acrylic holder resist when juggling club falls to ground?



what is the schedule?


Three weeks left for the final presentation.

Week 1: Make composite part of juggling club, I just have one. Design and mill main board, also LED RGB board final and hall effect sensor board.

Week 2: Test main board with led boards and magnetic sensor, test light sequence. Cut acrylic holder.

Week 3: Asssemble electronics parts with hardware and test if magnetic sensor works.


how will it be evaluated?


For the project to be successful, lights needs to work each time the magnet touches the center of the juggling club. The most important thing, when it resists a fall and continues to function.
