Week 17

Applications and implications

The objective :

Propose a final project that integrates the range of units covered

what will it do?

I had a problem of planting some plants at my home garden because of the sun heat in Kuwait during summer time specially in the early stages of their life cycle . An automated  Shading system that can be controlled remotely via mobile application going to be a great solution to this challenge. And this my project that I would like to present as final project.

who has done what beforehand?

There are automated shading system around the globe , But i am aiming to have my own customized system that fit my purpose. Also most of the automated shaded system I found was with either timer,remote control or attached switch , but I did not find any bluetooth interfaced for controlling via mobile application or controlled via sensors like what I am aiming to have.

what materials and components will be required?

Acryllic sheets

MDF Wood sheets

Controller

Attiny 44

Pin headers and isp header

Steeper motor

Bluetooth module

Temperature sensor

Light sensor

Flex sensor

Moisture sensor

Capacitors , Resistors and a Resonator

Copper plate for milling PCB milled

Wires, soldering materials

Pipes

where will they come from?

Most of them are either available in our lab or Locally available.

How much will it cost?

In general It will cost about 19 KWD  is about 60.15 US Dollar.

But,in my case I have used some parts from broken machines in our lab therefore my project going to cost me less than this amount.

What parts and systems will be made?

• •Entire MDF wood structure 

• •Mobile Application 

• •acrylic decoration  

• •3D printed gears and paring 

• •Stickers (Vinyl cutted). 

what processes will be used?

1. 1.computer-aided design 

• •2D model design 

• •3D model design 

1. 2.3D printing 

• •For making motor holders , gears and paring.  

1. 3.computer-controlled cutting 

• •laser-cutting for make strip of bracelet 

• •Vinyl cutter for stickers . 

what tasks need to be completed?

I already did the draft design on the fisrt week in fabacademy,but I need to make minor modification before starting the work on the controller board rest of components.

what questions need to be answered?

I had a problem of planting some plants at my home garden because of the sun heat in Kuwait during summer time specially in the earl

what is the schedule?

The expected time frame is as follows.

Wooden Structure frame

• ➢2 days max ❬ 6/06/2017 ❭ 

Electronic part

• ➢ 2 days max ❬ 9/06/2017 ❭ 

Assemble all modules

• ➢1 day  max ❬ 10/06/2017 ❭ 

Fixing errors

• ➢ 2 day  max ❬12/06/2017 ❭ 

how will it be evaluated?

I hop its going to work as per my plan and  this is going to be a greate success to me ,but the most challenging part of this project is saving my growing plants by using this system.
