Week 4 Sprint 1 (15/10 - 28/10) - Start For Prototyping

1.Product

  • Case Study
  • Technical Challenges
  • Arduino Self-learning

 

2.Process

Case Study

I've looked into other similar projects online to find out what type and brand of sensors are they using for their projects.

Technical Challenges

I've looked deeper into the technical stuff to find out what circumstances we may have to deal with while building our device. Because the project is related to water, the parts should be waterproof to prevent short circuits caused by water contact. Therefore, I still decided to use each waterproof box with at least a waterproof rating of IP67. Secondly, the power supply is also our consideration. After the discussion, we can use a solar power bank and small hydroelectric generators to keep the equipment in normal operation.

Arduino Self-learning

Basically, I'm still learning how to work better with Arduino with TINKERCAD with simple sensors like temperature sensor and photoresistor. It is quite fulfilled when every time I finished an Arduino project. 



3. Issues:

  • Time Management: Need to manage time well so that I can finish all my CAs from other subjects.
