Week 7

This week the group worked on the Final Report and printed the box in separate segments to fit inside the printer. It is necessary to print the box instead of using other means such as wood or cardboard to assure sturdiness and prevent flammability. The Final Report work was divided among the members to complete each section.

These are the pieces that have been printed and will be assembled with the others once printing is completed.

Week 5

We further tested different codes and started to design the box/container using on CAD using Fusion360. We are also trying to devise a solution for the power source to charge the Arduino Board. The box we are designing is porous to allow air flow to reach the sensors. It will also have suction cups attached to it to mount to different surfaces. One power source that we've used in the past with the Arduino Board was super-capacitors. Another source that may be useful and a cheaper option could be using a battery. There are different ports in the Arduino that regulate the voltage. These power sources are still being researched along with Arduino tutorials.

Week 4

During this week, all of the parts we ordered came in including and sensor kit, a bread board, a Wi-Fi receiver, a Bluetooth receiver, suction cups, and an Arduino Board. We started to try out different codes to work with sensors using tutorials online. We tested the carbon monoxide and gas smoke sensor. They each generated an output based on the air quality they detected. We have been looking to learn more codes and to integrate them using more sensors and the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth receivers.
