Team Ingenuity• Patrick Beler• Jeong Kim• Brad Odums• Ryan Williams
Why Lasers?
• Range of Colors
• Turn-on time nearly instantaneous
• Energy Efficient
Work To Date: Power
• All parts are ordered
• Cannot test/work on circuits until all parts are in
• PCB designs completed
PCB: Power (Adapter Cable)
PCB: Power (System)
Work To Date: Optics
• All parts ordered
• Cannot begin to test/work on anything until all of the parts come in
Work To Date: Audio
• All parts ordered
• PCB design competed
• Circuit has been breadboarded
PCB: Audio Circuit
Audio Circuit Breadboard
Audio Breadboard Audio Oscilloscope
Work To Date: Programming
• Code for separating 3 component images completed
• Runs before the information is sent to microcontroller / Uses OpenCV to separate color information pixel by pixel
Component Images
- Full RGB - Blue Component
Work To Date: Temperature Control
• PCB design • Ordered parts • Breadboarded circuit
PCB: Cooling
Design Challenge: XCUBE Size
• The XCUBE measures 35mm (~1.4”) on a side
• Our TFT screens measure 3.5” diagonally or roughly 3” across
• This issue has been tested and resolved for the most part, the XCUBE was able to image a Television perfectly onto a wall, so we are no longer worried about this
Design Challenge: Temp Sensor
• Testing of correct operation at high temperatures will be difficult to achieve
• We need to ensure that the cooling circuit will turn on at the high temperatures as designed
Projected Work : Power
• Test the designs as parts come in
• Send PCB designs off to be made
• Implement the designs on the PCBs
• Do a final testing of the circuits
Projected Work : Optics
• Finalize layout of lenses and lasers
• Test all components as they come in
• Mount all components for the final product
Projected Work : Audio
• Send PCB design off to be made
• Finish the circuit
• Final testing of the circuit
Projected Work: Programming
• Ensure TFT connections to communicate with processor
• Begin programming microcontrollers to input pixel information to TFT screens
Projected Work: Cooling
• Test temperature IC
• Breadboard circuit with temperature IC
• Send PCB design off to be made
• Integrate cooling circuit to power supply
