Refining Concept (A3)

The more I work on my chosen initial concept the more complex it becomes as I find myself trying to design for everything, the whole experience of going to the bathroom. It's becoming more and more difficult to try and factor in the Arduino side of things, to figure out the sensors needed and how I would code the mechanics of the product.

From talking to some of my colleagues and my Tutors, I have more of a direction in terms of how I would build it, so to speak.

The images below are my crappie (apparently architectural) sketches as I try and figure out how I will simplify my idea and go about manufacturing and coding it.





By the end of the session today, the one thing I really took away from today, was that I have a lot to do…I probably, no I definitely, bit off more than I can chew…

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.

Week 13.7 - A3 Presentation

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.
