Final Project Journal

Project Ideation

1- Tell us about the idea of your project. Why do you care about this? What were you inspired by? Include images and videos of similar projects

For the final project, we always have problems with remembering what I put my stuff so if you always lost your wallet and also your phone so I think of the smart wallet but when I described this thing to the instructor and thought about components it will be heavy and big so I changed the idea to make it handbag with the same features. so let me take u on a small journey what did u do when u lost ur, wallet, nothing I will create a smart handbag u can use as a wallet it should have Bluetooth to connect with your phone, power bank, smart lock, lighting, make action when here clap and heavy the design should be unisex.

I will be maxed between the smart wallet and handbag to fit components the features should have Bluetooth to connect with the phone, power bank, smart lock, lighting, and take action when here clap and are heavy. the power bank for charging the phone smart lock to no one opens it sound sensor for tracking.

Project Construction

2- Explain the CAD process of your project. How did you use the software to design your project? (List the softwares/tools/materials...etc that you used)

USED SOFTWARES

Fusion

I use Arduino software to typing code.

Here I used fusion 360 to design and draw sketches I put the video here to explain how I was drawing the bag on fusion I was start withdrawing sides view with dimensions based on the prototype I made with cardboard then I make sure every single line was defined then I extruded it then I draw front face side then I was drawing the tab and the t slot parts then I extruded it and then I unfold the sketch from sheet metal to draw living hinge on parts needs to folded then I put the components to see how it is fit on the bag.

and this video tutorial helped me a lot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjXnGby1H_A

Here I was assembling electric components 2 of Mini Breadboard, Arduino, and solenoid.

First, I was trying to follow the video step by step, and then instructor Menna told me the idea behind it and I realized he was working on the small dimension and drawing it by myself I start was draw the line 8 lines in a row 26.1mm then gab 6mm and so on and then the next row drew the 6mm at the middle for the first line then the gab 6mm between lines then the gap between rows 1.60mm and so on then I use rectangle pattern to repeat it THANKS Manonaa for helping me a lot.

Then here I was thinking a lot about how can the solenoid work and my college Essam give me the idea to make a loop so the solenoid can move into that loop I was drawing a loop at the fusion as we see in this video

Then when I saw the solenoid I was thinking how can I attached it to the bag then I started to design this bracket to make it attached and here I started by elevation side and then extruded it and draw the circle for scrwo

3- Explain the fabrication process of your project. How did you use the machine to fabricate your project? (List the softwares/tools/materials...etc that you used)

USED SOFTWARES

laser work

cura

MACHINES

ElMalky ML1390 CO2 Laser Cutter

PRUSA i3 MK2

3D Printer

here I was exporting the file as dxf from the fusion and then importing it to RDWORK to cut it on laser cutting I was making all lines cut with a speed of 30 power 50 and the downloaded to the machine to cut it .

Then our lovely machine was cutting my lovely bag

here I printed the loop on PRUSA i3 MK2 it was took 5 minutes and 1 g

about setting

layer Hight 0.2 / infill 15 / build place skirt / no support

then I printed the bracket for the solenoid it was taken15 minutes and 2 g

about setting

layer Hight 0.2 / infill 15 / build place skirt / no support

here I collecting pic of the bodies of the bag, loop, and bracket.

Project Electronics & Power Management

4- Describe your electronic circuit. What are the input and action components? What is the function of each? How do the components integrate together to form your smart system? (List the softwares/tools/components...etc that you used)

Components

Arduino nano

Mini Breadboard

LED

Jumper Wires

Microbot USB Cabl

RFID

Buzzer

PLY wood

Resistor

realy

power bank

solenoid

I was chosen those Components coz I need them when I scan the RFID code the led opened and the buzzer make a sound and the bag opened.

then I was wiring the diagram for RFID I followed this site https://randomnerdtutorials.com/security-access-using-mfrc522-rfid-reader-with-arduino/

then I was wiring Buzzer the positive to pin 3 and the negative to the negative line on the breadboard then led positive to pin 4 and the negative to negative in the breadboard the wiring negative line breadboard to GND pin .

https://www.tinkercad.com/things/3vX1tk7B640-epic-gogo/editel

then I was wiring the solenoid to relay the left side pin IN yellow one to pin 7 and the GND black one to GND Arduino, VIN red one to 5V, and, the right side NO(normally open ) to the positive solenoid then CM to power bank (+) positive socket and the negative solenoid to (-)negative power bank (-) negative socket.

Here I was making a circuit with Arduino nano and RFID

Then I put the led in pin 4 and the buzzer on pin 3

then I tested it .

and then I put realy in pin 7 and then attached the solenoid

5- What is your power source? How did you select the suitable power source for your project? (List the softwares/tools/components...etc that you used)

I used a power bank as a power source for Arduino nano and realy to powring solenoid and I was chosen the power bank coz I need bag free Handel and move without being attached to the adaptor

Project Programming

6- Describe the code of your project. How did you program each function of the project?

first I was searching for an RFID code coz I don't know how it works I downloaded the library for RFID

https://randomnerdtutorials.com/security-access-using-mfrc522-rfid-reader-with-arduino/

Third Step

then I was open the zip file

This is the library files .

second step was go to the Arduino app at include library then add zip library.

Step Four

then when u o to include library u will found the file.

then see serial print to know what is the password or the key language I defined the led, relay, buzzer, and RFID which pins I attached, and then at the void setup I defined the pins what is output and what are input and serial print what I want to see it as line

then in a void loop, I put condition here want if the RFID read the access card the led will open the buzzer make a tone and the solenoid make moving but I put the condition by the language Ardouino understands it.

Project Integration & Testing

7- Demonstrate with text and visuals how did you integrate the project’s modules together? What are the testing results? (Include a Demo video separately, showing a proof of functionality)

I was Fit the components in the bag and then I was tasted and that is the final result

here i will show u what is look like from all views

the view from inside

Sharing & Collaboration

8- Did you ask for feedback? What are the ideas that others have contributed or suggested? What was someone else’s idea that you built upon? How did you help your peers? How did your peers help you?

I was wondering about how can I close and open with solenoid and then my college Essam Suggest to make this loop to work with solenoid thanks Essam to helping me a lot .

Overcoming Challenges

9- When you got stuck, what/who did you turn to? At what point did you have to pause to research or learn more before moving on? What are some mistakes, pitfalls, or challenges that others can avoid if they were doing this project?

Here I was struggling with coding RFID Menna and Asmaa's instructor helped me a lot to get the written code.

and then I download RFID library from this site

https://randomnerdtutorials.com/security-access-using-mfrc522-rfid-reader-with-arduino/

and then i was struggling with including the library on the Arduino app then asmaa explained to me how can I includes it FRIST download RFID for the site i was mentioned then

go to Arduino IDE

to sketch >> then include library >>add zip library then

sketch >> include library >>RIFD

here I had a lot of trials to perfect the dimension to fit with the solenoid

I measured the thickness of the wood and the Hight of the solenoid to make it right Hight then it is fit .

and here I was struggle with the dimension for the square about the bag coz it look like prefect on fusion but not at the real .

Future Work

10- If you had more time, what is one thing you would change/ Do next in your project?

I will but Bluetooth to connecting with Arduino and put the sound sensor too .
