Fusion Schematic Board

Me and Aanya worked on this project together. We decided to make an angler fish light up! We added LED's to the eye and to the light attatched to it's head. One thing I will remember about printed circuit boards is that you need to make sure all the wires are connected.

I want to remember that people liked the way I incorporated the speakers into the design. I will keep that in mind when making my final design. I also want to remember that everyone has different opinions and ideas so I should choose the one I like the best.

I think this is an excellent design because it fits exactly my needs. I wanted something aesthetically pleasing and that would look good in my room, I also knew I wanted to make it personal so I made a picture frame for pictures of friends and family. I am challenging my current skill set because I've never made a speaker before so this is a new experience and I also am adding a frame which is another dimension to my design.

This is my 80% finished 3D model. You can see the design elements for example the picture frame, speaker, and configuration.

My idea is to create a fun and aesthetically pleasing speaker. After I made my cardboard prototype I learned the real life sizing and dimensions. My design doesn't need modifications, this is exactly what I was looking for!

I finished building the circuit board, I added Bluetooth, and used the schematic to ensure I did everything accurately! I already tested it with music!  Something that I understand now is how everything needs to be connected, and a part of the circuit; if it's not in the right row, then it will not work. One part I found confusing was how the volume worked. I looked it up and found out that it uses a variable resistor to either lower the signal's voltage before it reaches the amplification stage to control the gain of the amplifier itself.
