Applications and implications
The task of the week is to propose a final project that integrates the range of units covered, answering:
1. what will it do?
2. who's done what beforehand?
3. what materials and components will be required?
4. where will they come from?
5. how much will it cost?
6. what parts and systems will be made?
7. what processes will be used?
8. what tasks need to be completed?
9. what questions need to be answered?
10. what is the schedule?
11. how will it be evaluated?
1. what will it do?
The final project I am going to do is to make a shooting game based on laser transmitter and light sensor. And on the other hand, the system will communicate with an android phone that is more interesting.
Functions:
- Have a laser gun that can release laser a ray as a bullet.
- Have a target that can sense the ‘bullet’
- When the target got shot, the target should have an action (like move the hands, or buzzer beep).
- Connect to Android application wirelessly.
- Send game score when all the target shot down.
A sketch of the system and interactions is shown below. When the light sensor sense the laser, the motor connected to target will be moved for a certain angle.
2. Who's done what beforehand?
Actually I got this idea from my child memories, the Duck Hunting Game. And as I learned from previous weeks like input and output devices, I found its possible to do it by myself using laser light and light sensor.
3. What materials and components will be required? 4. Where will they come from? 5. How much will it cost?
The bill of material:
6. What parts and systems will be made? 7. What processes will be used?
8. What tasks need to be completed? And What questions need to be answered?
All the parts need to be completed.
10. What is the schedule?
• 2016/5/18 – 5/23 Define the final project
• 2016/5/24 – 6/1 Laser gun molding
• 2016/6/1 – 6/5 Laser gun programming
• 2016/6/5 – 6/10 Target hardware
• 2016/6/10 – 6/12 Android app
• 2016/6/15 – 6/20 Improvement
• 2016/6/22 Final presentation
11. How will it be evaluated?
The project is evaluated by asking someone to play with it. If the target can be shot down then the score will be sent to app. Then it’s good.
