Integrated Project Blog Activities 3º Term

This project was very hard to do, because we don't knew about electronic, programmatic,  what is the arduino?, how make an alternative energy power? and how redact a thesis?. We expected this project was very hard, but spend the time and the project turned in something great, so we are very happy because, the ideas that we had thought in the project were more than expected. We thought in a lot of ideas of this project to make it better. The principal changes that should made to this project its make it more innovator, more ecologist and add other technology systems. Other change should be implemented no only in pacients but also in workers in the hospital, to make their job more easy, it could be fastest, automatic and develop machines. The development of the inmotic system will be a great change in the humanity because its a great idea to do the routine activities in different and easy way.

Whats need a Mechatronic Engineer?

A Mechatronics Engineer need skills, attitudes, aptitudes and principles. At the beginning of this career your first actions are recognize if you have the skills to develop and the attitude with which you will do there is go learning and developing skills. Patience, responsibility, honesty, perseverance and cooperation are the main values that you must learn in this race. Skills that you already have is developed to the passage of time, now that along career iras finding and implementing each of them.

The principal goal achieved was the creation of a mockup implemented with the diferents accesories and systems that will be use, as well the creation of a solar panel made of copper and water with salt to charge a battery and the creation of a voltimeter and amperimeter to measure he voltage and the amperage. We are very satisfied with the results because the mockup it is as we want it have all the characteristics and measures appropriate. It does have the necessary space to implement and control every motor and light or everything action. All the activities of the project were implemented since do a galvanometer to do a printed circuit in a phenolic plate were done by the implementation of the skills learned in the career. To be done this project needs the complete program made in C  to control the system, create all the circuit and install the others motor and the accessories that will implemented in the mockup.

Component/Activity	Description	Cost Item
Battery Paper	We use the battery paper to made the walls of the mockup	$270
Glue	Use glue to assemble the parts of wood in the mockup	$100
Cutter	We use the cutter to cut the battery paper	$0
Screws	We use screws to assemble the battery paper in the wood	$6
Wood	Its the principal  component because its like the girders of the mockup	$150
Drill Bit	This tool was very efficient to tighten the screws and drill the wood	$20
LED's	Use the leds to iluminate the mockup	$25
Motor	Its the principal component in the system because the motor moves different accessories	$0
Resistors	Use the resistors in the circuits	$10
Parallel Port Cable	This is the principal component in the circuit and the communication between the computer and the system.	$0
Parallel Port Male Connector	This connector use in the circuit to communicate the circuit and connect the cable	$30
20 Pin DIP Socket	Use this socket in the circuit to avoid than the integrated circuit burns	$45
Phenolic Plate	The circuit will be implemented in this	$20
Clay	Use this material to fill and mold all the parts of the mockup	$63
Ferric Chloride	Use this compound to engraved the ink in the phenolic plate to make the circuit	$30
Couche Paper	Use this paper to print lines and rails of the circuit	$5
Terminals	Use the terminals to connect different accessories in the printed circuit	$40
9V Battery	Give the necessary energy to the circuit to turn on the system	$50
Sheet Copper	We use this in the solar panel, the copper gives the necessary energy form the sun	$45
Sodium Chloride	Use this compound in the solar panel, this make a little reaction to make energy	$3
Wire Caliber 22	Use this wire to pass the energy for all the mockup	$64
Polyethylene	Use the polyethylene  to make a prototype and use as a little table below the mockup	$60
		Total  $1013
