Item Automated Ramen Noodle Vending Machine(2018-12-04) Ragozzino, Dan R.; Goodman, DavidContained in the following report is a complete and detailed document of the design and implementation for the development of an automated ramen noodle vending machine unit. Covered topics include justification and specification development, which considers target consumer audience as well as some considerations for safety ratings and features that are required for consumer appliances. Also covered is the development and implementation phase, entailing translating design into a physical and functional prototype that achieves specifications detailed in the design phase. There are three major components of the development phase: hardware, interface and software. Each component of development is covered in detail, including troubleshooting and on-the-fly changes made to design to accommodate issues that arise during the prototype development. The last section of the document includes some considerations for iterative design. Issues encountered during prototype development will also be documented. A fully detailed operations guide will also be included. In the appendices of the document are the full printout of the software, detailed spec sheets of individual hardware components, as well as documents from the design phase.Item Robot Arm Interface with Microcontroller(2020-05-07) Miles, Koty; Montalvo-Hernandez, Carlos; Ku, Derek; Freije, ElizabethTo fulfill the needs of an advanced ECET microcontroller programming class, two robot arms are to be created for the students. These robot arms will have six degrees of freedom, interface with a microcontroller, and be controlled wirelessly with an Android application via Bluetooth. Once the robots are 3D printed and assembled, three new labs will be created and tested which will integrate these robot arms into the class. The first lab will be an introduction to servo motors and the robot arm, the second will include an ultrasonic sensor which will communicate with the robot, and the third will have two robots communicate with each other as well as a single Bluetooth device. An overview of the design of these robots is included in this document including the scope, decision matrices, schematic, design layout, test plan, bill of materials (BOM), assembly instructions, and user manual. The outcome of this project is crucial so that students will be able to have a user-friendly platform that allows them to practice and teach them how to properly program microcontrollers that will control these robots.
