Unit Project: E-Panel
E-Panel
The final project for this unit is to construct an Electronics Panel, or E-Panel, with the rest of the components that are on your board.
Use the following wiring diagram to make the proper connections.
Requirements
-
Basic Design Requirements
- Design and build a foam core E-Panel.
- The design should contain an Arduino, motor (and Motor Control Board), battery, and a Distance Sensor.
- The wiring must be labeled and well-organized.
-
Build Requirements
- You can use any wires or connectors from previous steps.
- The design be contained within one foam board.
- The wiring should include conduit, and wire labels.
- (Optional) You can upload a program to your Arduino that has the motor reacting to the Distance Sensor.
-
Workmanship
- Mount all the pieces securely. Nothing should come loose when shaken.
- All wiring should be neat, of the proper length, and securely attached.
Scoring Characteristics
-
Core Functions 30 pointsAll of the components must be connected properly (using the correct pins on the components).
-
Workmanship: Shake Test 10 pointsWhen shaken firmly, the E-Panel must stay intact. No rattling of parts should be heard or felt.
-
Workmanship: Neatness 10 pointsAll wires should be of a proper length and use proper connectors -- no extra loops should be present, and connections should not be secured with tape where a connector is more appropriate (for instance, using electrical tape instead of a spade connector on a screw terminal).
-
Bonus: Unique Improvements +5 points / additional design+5 bonus points for a customized program on the Arduino using the components available on the E-Board.
