The first guide
My idea is a relaxation chair
Cause we suffer a lot in our day life, we need a relaxation time.
So I think to help people to achieve a variable time and to have a relaxed, perfect time.
That idea came when I have a tired week one day so I decided to make a project that could help us in a relaxation process.

2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
Project idea:
A Smart mechanical controlled by Arduino, senses the motion of the client and get a motion in the chair through sensors.
It also shows time of relaxation you'd prefer to achieve and set the time you wanted.
it also shows at LED kind of music you wanted.
The cycle:
First the client set on the chair, sensors get the action and motion take place.
The down part of the chair moves upwards to rest the hole leg.
Then a mechanical movement (massage) occur.
The LED show the timer to the client so he can set the time he needed and listen to the music he prefers.

Construction Parts
Electronic Components Box will be designed as 2.5D parts using fusion 360 and fabricated using laser cutting
The scaled chair will be designed as 3D parts using fusion 360 and fabricated using the 3D printer and laser cutting.
Input
(Sensing, Tactile Input, and/or Graphical Input)
Sensing: Motion Sensor
Tactile Inputs: On/Off switch
Graphical Inputs: Mobile Application
Action
(Physical and/or Graphic)
Physical Action:
motor moving
speaker-sound (nice to have)
Graphical Action:
The user will control the motor direction for the process.
Also, the user set the music he wants during the process. (Nice to have)
Brain
An Arduino Uno
Power Management
An Adapter (9-Volt)

Mohanad helped me & explain how the mechanism could work and where the motors could be in the project.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
The chair's down part (that rest the leg) moves up when the user set on it.
The user push the button to start the kinetic motion of the message chair.
Action: moving action
Sensing: Motion Sensor
User Input: on/off switch
Complete User Features
The user has an option to set and control the process needed and choses the direction of the motion.
Action: Action: motor direction.
User Input: Mobile Application control system.
Nice-to-have User Features
The user could set his own music during the process so he could get his complete relaxation time.
Action: Speaker
User Input: push button
