Digital lantern
I decided to make a lantern combined between easy use and malty tasks .I care about this because I love to combined between decorate and technology in the same time.Also we have one week for ramadan so I thought it will be good if I designed something realate to the culture of this holy month.
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
My project idea is a smart lantern that can performs a smart action by emitting light in dark places by using LDR sensor and Neo Pixel Stick.

4- Describe the Technical Modules that your project consists of
Construction Parts
The enclosure and the rotary part of the lantern will be designed as 2.5D parts using Fusion 360 and fabricated using a Laser Cutting machine. all of these parts will be made from 3mm plywood.
Input
(Sensing, Tactile Input, and/or Graphical Input)
The night lamp will take input from LDR sensor when it's dark .
Action
(Physical and/or Graphic)
The night lamp will contain Neo Pixel Stick and a LDR sensor that will turn on when it's dark.
Brain
An Arduino UNO board will be used take inputs and generate action.
Power Management
The night lamp will be powered using an adaptor. And it would be good to add a battery to work when power outages.
5- Create a cardboard prototype of your project, demonstrating the project face as well as internal movements and mechanisms. Include a demo video and photos of the prototype.

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
Lamp works with the light cut off .
Action: Neo Pixel Stick 8bit
Sensing: LDR sensor
User Input: None
Sensing: None
User Input:
Complete User Features
The user can adjust the intensity of the lighting through the Knob.
Action: Neo Pixel Stick 8bit
User Input: Knob
Nice-to-have User Features
The user can link the operation of the lamp with the mobile alarm so that the lamp turns on automatically when the alarm turns on
Action: Mobile screen
Sensing: None
User Input: Graphical Push Button
Supplying the night lamp with an additional battery to operate when the power is cut off, to operate the lamps only without the motor.
Action: Neo Pixel Stick 8bit
Sensing: power off sensor
User Input: None
