OVERVIEW The final design will be a 12 ft long, 4 ft tall and 5 in think

board positioned at angles.

The panels on the ends of the board will be slightly shorter so that children in wheelchairs will be able to roll underneath them and have an opportunity to enjoy all of the activities.

COMPLETED WORK More in depth research on parts to order

Microcontrollers Sonar Sensors RGB LEDs Generators Button covers

COMPLETED WORK Research on design of panels

Chimes will be hand-made and cut to different lengths so each has a different sound

Piezo Transducers can be used as “mini speakers” Memory Game will use microcontroller, which takes input from user

pushing buttons, and outputs to the LEDs and the Piezo Sonar sensors will have range of 3 feet so that they don’t pick up

noise

PROJECT REVIEW - SUCCESSES A contact is seeing if he can get us LEDs from his

company We have a contact in the electrical engineering

department that we can contact to consult on what we need

We have been able to solidify a few of the parts we will be ordering

We have done some good research which will help us to move forward

NAPOLI, SMITH, WAKEFIELD 7

PROJECT REVIEW - DRAWBACKS We are unsure of which type of microcontroller to order

We receive some advice, and will be buying one, and if it works will buy more later

It is still difficult to know exactly what to buy We have a few items we will be starting with

We are worried about our given budget, so are waiting for now to buy certain items

It is challenging to think of actually how to create/program the board, especially when none of us specialize in instrumentation

FUTURE WORK - DELEGATIONS Danielle Napoli

Memory game Communications LED’s Inverter

Alyssa Smith Create a picture Music panel Material for board

Christine Wakefield Hand Crank Sonar light up Circuitry

Everyone Put our heads together to

brainstorm what comes next and what to prioritize and how to actually program parts

Learn some C to program microcontrollers

Order other supplies

BUDGET We currently have a total of $3,000

$1,000 from Biomedical Engineering Department $2,000 from School of Engineering

After speaking with Jen Desrosiers, we should order from the BME department first, and see Sharon in EII about the SoE funds, as they cannot be transferred to each other

Letter has been sent asking for donation of HDPE The posts and brackets that will be holding up the actual

panels are being donated to us by Miracle Recreation A charge that would normally have cost us $180 each
