WEEK SEVEN ( Circuitry and Activity Modules )

This week we have been focusing on the CAD and circuitry of our product. Josephine and I (Nathan) have been working on the SolidWorks portion of the project in order to get the prototype 3D printed. Furthermore, in order to effectively make the toys in SolidWorks, we have been researching on toys that other companies have made so that way we can get a better idea of how the mechanisms behind the toys function.

 

Figures 1-4: The above four figures show the individually made parts on SolidWorks. When put together, they will make the "Maze" activity that we wish to put in our final product.

Also, Jennifer has been working hard as well on the circuitry. Now that we have received the Arduino Due boards, she has been at work at putting all of our necessary electrical components together. Both her and Josephine are at work on making the housing of the circuits within the toy.
