A1 Tech Task - Exploring Idea

For my A1 design, I have been playing around with the idea of timed snacks. An interactive product that you can set goals with and time when you can get your rewards. This idea initally began as a device that protected your food from your family, i.e. your siblings. 

A quick example of a scenario where this device would be needed;

You buy yourself a carton of ice-cream that you don't want to share. Your siblings also want ice cream so they go looking for it...Buttt they can't, cause you got locks and alarms. Ice cream is protected against theft.

As mentioned this idea, turned into a reward system, that locks the ice-cream awat from you until the set time comes. It's designed to coerce you into doing work.

Week 13.2 - A3 Finalising Code

Image
 Yikes! lets begin with that. It has been one hell of a ride with this code. For most of the duration of A3 I have been trying to code infrared leds and transmitters...NOT BEAM BREAKERS. It was only until last week Thursday during our tech workshops that I was finally introduced to them. Thank God for that, I was about to pull my hair-that you can't seen under my hijab-out. The Beam breakers are amazing, whoever designed them is honestly my hero. While it has taken me a couple hours to get the code, (and its still not perfect 100%) they have taken my code to not working to everything is working as it should with the expection of the display screen that is clearing at the moment. But the detection is just amazin and how accurate it is and how each stage correlates with each other. It's late and I'm happy.  The video below demonstrates the working interactions, with a couple things missing (such as buttons) for how my design will monitor the bag and inform the user through li...

Week 13.6 - Code is working!

 It has been such a rush trying to get this code together and I still haven't finished. Since the beam breakers just came this Monday, I have been running around like a headless chicken trying to get this right and I think I finally got it. The video below shows a demo of my code and bow the sensors work together, how they go off when the connection is broken etc. I'm so happy that this part is over.

It was such a relief to have this presentation over with. I enjoyed walking around and seeing what everyone else did, their designs and their videos. The belwo videos is a quick video of my groups presentation and our products.
