What are the tasks that the object must fill? 2. What senseors should it have, what are the things it should measure? 3. In what environment the object is going to be used? 4. Is there a size limit? 5. What is the budget? 6. Has it to be mobile or stationary? 7. What wireless systems (wi-fi, blootooth) can we use? 8. What range should it operat in? 9. Do we need to use batterys or can we use the plug-in system? If we use batterys then how long should they last ( how many houers)? 10. Who is the finale customer/ consumer? 11. What the customer/consumer expect from it? 12. Free questions (questions that have risen on the meeting) 13. Conclusion === Minute: === Got some information and ideas how and what to research. ==== 3rd Meeting (2012-03-15) ==== === Agenda: === Questions about matrials and laboratory: 1. Shall we add small parts like headers, wires or soldering materials to the material list? 2. Can we use machines for heating and cutting acrylic glass (plexiglass)? Does ISEP have any? 3. Do you know where we can buy acrylic glass in Portugal or Porto (company name would help)? 4. Who can show us the laboratory? 5. Is it possible to make small changes to the material list like a LED or switch after the end of March? 6. Is Bluetooth reflected by acrylic glass? Do we need an external antenna? ( We have decided to use Bluetooth, because then the object will also be able to communicate with smartphones etc.) Questions about marketing: 1. Do we have to do market analysis, if the Smart Object is going to be used only for school? 2. Do we have to do market segmentation? 3. Is the object only for ISEP or for indiviudal client? 4. Can we use ISEP's logo on the Smart Object? Free questions that have risen during the meeting. Conclusion === Minute: === Got some anwsers for the questions we had. Got some good advise what to look in to and so on. ==== 4th Meeting (2012-03-22) ==== Material list: [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uOrNmMXwRpAIS5l9XwNB77idnNh9NM5bNxiXiauNUNs/edit]] === Agenda: === - Introduction of our idea. - Present the material list that we have made. - Do you have any suggestions about the things we are planing to use? - Questions about the materials - Where can we buy acrylic glass and ABS plastic? Where can we find the company name? - Can you recommend where can we buy the Arduino and other parts? - Do you have any expirence with the power consumption of our parts that we have in the list? - It is possible to get a good relative position from the acceleration data or does it olny work with a heavy filter? === Minute: === We got some web links where we should find the materials and parts we need (http://www.dagol.pt/ and www.inmotion.pt). The power consumbtion becomes obvios when we test the parts. We don't have the general idea what the SO is going to be so we have to think about that. Also we have to think about if we need all the parts that we have listed. ==== 5th Meeting (2012-03-29) ==== Material list: [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uOrNmMXwRpAIS5l9XwNB77idnNh9NM5bNxiXiauNUNs/edit]] ^ Name ^ Link ^ Price ^Specification ^ Quantity ^ |Arduino BT| http://www.inmotion.pt/store/arduino-bluetooth |82,00 € | |1| |IMU Digital Combo Board - 6 Degrees of Freedom ITG3200/ADXL345 |http://www.inmotion.pt/store/imu-digital-combo-board-6-degrees-of-freedom-itg3200adxl345|48,95 €|18mm X 16mm (see pictures on the link)|1| |Lithium Polymer Battery|http://www.inmotion.pt/store/polymer-lithium-ion-battery-2000mah|13,95 €|Battery: 6mm×30mm×48mm|1| |LiPoly Charger - Single Cell|http://www.inmotion.pt/store/lipoly-charger-single-cell|12.75 € |maybe 25mm x 25mm|1| |Logic Level Converter|http://www.inmotion.pt/store/logic-level-converter|2,65 €|12mm x 15mm|1| |Nintendo DS Touch Screen |http://www.inmotion.pt/store/nintendo-ds-touch-screen|7,95 €|55.88 mm x 69.85 mm|1| |Breakoutboard for Touchpad Nintendo DS Touch Screen Connector Breakout |http://www.inmotion.pt/store/nintendo-ds-touch-screen-connector-breakout|3,50 €|12 mm x 12 mm| 1| |Breakout Board for ADMP401 MEMS Microphone|http://www.inmotion.pt/store/breakout-board-for-admp401-mems-microphone|8,50 € |11 mm x 14 mm|1| |Standoff - Nylon (3/8", 4-40, 10 packs)|http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10927 |2 X 2,23= 4,46| Probelem: Portuguese adress missing|>12| |Jumper Wires|http://www.inmotion.pt/store/jumper-wires-premium-6-pack-of-30-mm-20-mf-10-ff |14,3 €| |1| |Screws with 4-40 thread and a flat head length: ca. 10 mm| | | |> 16| |Nuts 4-40|http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10232| | |>16| |Angle Bracket - 4-40|http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10228|0,38 x 10 = 3,8| |>8| |Targus USB Bluetooth® 2.0 Adapter, 100M|http://www.vobis.pt/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=02967093&oid=&c= |14,99 € + shipping| |1| === Agenda: === - Introduction of our idea/marketing idea. - Drawings:[[http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47213371/Shell.jpg]] , [[http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47213371/Componenets_v1.jpg]] - Present the material list that we have made. - Questions about the materials - Where to buy screws, nuts, bolts...? - What is the output volatge of the usb charger?
