SENSORY BOARD FOR ADAM’S ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND Danielle Napoli Alyssa Smith Christine Wakefield Team 22 Project 41 TA – Sarah Brittain Faculty Advisor – Dr. John Enderle Client – Brian Schwarz

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. NAPOLI, SMITH, WAKEFIELD 2

OVERVIEW  Panel 1-A: Music Panel  Panel 1-B: Memory Game  Panel 2-A: Communication  Panel 2-B: Sonar Panel  Panel 3-A: Create-A-Picture  Panel 3-B: Hand Crank Game NAPOLI, SMITH, WAKEFIELD 3

COMPLETED WORK  More in depth research on parts to order  Microcontrollers  Sonar Sensors  RGB LEDs  Generators  Button covers  Letter asking for donation of HDPE sent NAPOLI, SMITH, WAKEFIELD 4

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 NAPOLI, SMITH, WAKEFIELD 5

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 6

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 NAPOLI, SMITH, WAKEFIELD 7

FUTURE WORK - DELEGATIONS NAPOLI, SMITH, WAKEFIELD 9  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 NAPOLI, SMITH, WAKEFIELD 10
