This is your logbook. Insert here all relevant information regarding the evolution of your project
After the whole week of meetings, Benedita divided us into groups. Our group: Maria, Toma, Iza and Aare. Our team choose the project. We know what we are going to do, it will be an interactive's wall project or something like that. We decided to do interactive ground. We want to offer this project for children in kindergardens, something like a toy. Children can put a feet and feel sound and see different lights.
We changed our idea. Right now we would like to do an interactive sound table, it is targeted at young adults. It will be nice furniture! After the whole week of reflection we put a lot of things which we have to choose ( they are in the table).

QTR-8A Reflectance Sensor Array Model-POL-960 (Digital) http://www.inmotion.pt/store/qtr-8a-reflectance-sensor-array | The QTR-8RC reflectance sensor array is intended as a line sensor, but it can be used as a general-purpose proxim | 12,95+23% | Dimensions: 2.95“ x 0.5” x 0.125“ (without header pins installed) Operating voltage: 3.3-5.0 V Supply current: 100 mA Output format: digital I/O compatible Optimal sensing distance: 0.125” (3 mm) Maximum recommended sensing distance: 0.375“ (9.5 mm) Weight without header pins: 0.11 oz (3.09 g) |
Infrared Sensor Sharp GP2Y0A21 Model: INM-0135 (Analog) http://www.inmotion.pt/store/infrared-sensor-sharp-gp2y0a21 | Infrared proximity sensor made by Sharp. Part # GP2Y0A21 has an analog output that varies from 2.6V at 10cm to 0.4V at 80cm. The sensor has a Japanese Solderless Terminal (JST) Connector. We recommend purchasing the related JST connector or soldering wires directly to the back of the module. | 11,48+23% | Supply voltage : Rating -0,3 to+7V Output terminal voltage: -0,3to Tcc+0,3V Operating temperature: -10 to +60C http://inmotion.pt/documentation/datasheets/components/GP2Y0A21YK.pdf |
Music Instrument Shield http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10587 | The Musical Instrument Shield is an easy way to add great sounding MIDI sound to your next Arduino project. This board is built around the VS1053 MP3 and MIDI codec IC, wired in MIDI mode. Simply connect a speaker/stereo/pair of headphones to the 1/8” stereo jack on the shied and pass the proper serial commands to the IC and you'll be playing music in no time! | 29,95 +25% | http://inmotion.pt/documentation/sparkfun/DEV-10587/vs1053.pdf |
MP3 player shield http://www.inmotion.pt/store/mp3-player-shield | This new revision of the MP3 player shield retains the awesome MP3 decoding abilities of the last version but adds the storage functionality of the SD card shield. Now you can pull MP3 files from an SD card and play them using only one shield, effectively turning any Arduino into a fully functional stand-alone MP3 player! The MP3 Shield still utilizes theVS1053B MP3 audio decoder IC to decode audio files. The VS1053 is also capable of decoding Ogg Vorbis/MP3/AAC/WMA/MIDI audio and encoding IMA ADPCM and user-loadable Ogg Vorbis. | 29,95+23% | http://inmotion.pt/documentation/sparkfun/DEV-10628/vs1053.pdf |
Speaker - 0.5W 8Ohm http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9151 | A small speaker that is ideal for radio and amplifier projects and is small enough to fit in robot projects. | 1,95$ | Small Size Power rating: 0.5W Impedance: 8 ohm Dimensions: 50mm Diameter: 16mm High, 28mm base diameter |
Super Bright LED – White- 10,000mcd | These are very bright LEDs. The LEDs are so bright that it hurts to look directly at them. Please take a look at the pictures to get an idea of the intensity.

We made a list of some materials previous week, right now we are going to chose some of them, which one will be better for our product.
We decided to use:
We decided to break our table into nine sections. That's why we need 36 LED, 4 LED into one section.
We chose materials :

We started to think about our Interim Report.. because it is time to start writing it. We solve our work. Iza is going to write Marketing Plan, Aare State of The Art, Toma Introduction, Maria Eco-effiecency and Sustainability.
In this week, we wrote whole Interim Report, because on 14th of April it was a deadline to upload it.
Izabela wrote Marketing Plan.
Toma wrote Introduction.
Aare wrote State of The Art.
Maria wrote Eco-Effiecency and Sustainablity.
Then we were discussing about all those things, changing it, talking to teachers and then we've got it!
We did schematic and put in on dropbox.
We are going to start presentation.
In this week we were working on our interim report presentation. We were preparing ourselves to it.
Then on Thursday we presented our work on week meeting. We think that it was quite good, but we have to improve some details. Supervisors gave us such tips, for example we have to rewrite our Marketing Plan, think if we can sell our product like a service, a system..
Toma did a scheme of our product, she was talking to Benedita about it. We have to improve it.
In this week we arranged meeting on Monday with supervisor.
We did scheme:
http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/6906/scheme2z.jpg
We should start making video. We are going to put there 3 most important things: 1.our teamwork/ the way how we are working 2.process of doing our own project 3.project itself/what we are doing
We will do some photos and maybe a movie.
FOR NEXT WEEK : TASK- choose TABLE!!!
We have started making video. We did something about our teamwork and process of doing our own project. We did some pictures and movies. We have started builidng. Next week we are going to buy the table. Finally !!! :)
We are working on poster and paper too.
We corrected our scheme: http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/948/schemecorrect.jpg
Our project is developing day by day quicker and quicker. Right now we prepared poster. We are still making the video. We are writing project development, and of course we are building our product, what is the most exciting! :)
We draw some lines, points etc.. and next week we are going to the laboratory to make holes in our table.
Aare was this week in the laboratory to see what kind of tools we need, and where we can do everything , for example drilling.
At the meeting Benedita presented supervisors and the list of projects, which we are going to do. Each of group had to think about theirs projects, because we were divided into groups. Our group choose to do an interactive's wall project. But we put the idea, then we decided to do interactive ground. We want to offer this project for children in kindergardens, something like a game. Children can put a feet and feel sound and see different lights.
At the meeting we talked about our project. We decided to call it „ An interactive musical toy for children”. We talked about :
We talked about our project. We decided to do a table. We talked about:
We talked about different materials, which we had choosen. We heard that we can use some things from ISEP, for instance cover for our table, or some tools
We discussed about :
We talked about:
Everybody presented products, and then we discuss about our projects with supervisors.
There was no meetings because, there were lots of people missed.
We talked about:
We talked about:
1. video- Ana Barata is going to show us some video from different country, but right now we know that video must be about: 1.our teamwork/ the way how we are working 2.process of doing our own project 3.project itself/what we are doing
We can do some photos or a movie.
2.scheme- how to improve it ..
3.we've got TASK for next week.. choose TABLE!!!
There was no meeting
We talked about Project Development, how we have to write it step by step. We dedecided when we are going to laboratory (on Monday afternoon).
We talked about programming, and we have to read guide for music instrument shield (datasheet).
