MESA:

 

Here is a template for all of the design notebooks-

• We need a copy for:
  • Arduino
  • Egg-Drop

design notebook template (18 pages)

 

 

 

 

Arduino goal:

 

Identify an air pollution problem. Your device must:

 

1. Help your clients cope with negative effects of polluted air
2. Help your clients clean polluted air
3. Help your clients reduce production of air pollution

 

 

1. Option A is definitely the easiest method to do. An example of it would be to buy materials to create a sensor that would turn a light on depending on how the air quality is. (Projected cost ~$30+)  However, this would earn little originality points, because the internet is filled with ways to create this sort of sensor.
2. Option B is really wack
3. Option C, we can create a more efficient method of doing an activity. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

 

Oh yeah, this is a national competition, so if we win the state competition at lagoon, we can go to nationals over the sumer :)

 

Project option 1:

In doors in your home. Turns on a air purifier depending on the quality of the air of the house

 

Project option 2:

On a car exhaust. This will help convince people of how environmentally awful their cars are.

Senses for Carbon Monoxide and Nitrogen Oxides

 

 

Materials:

Grove Shield (this thing has a bunch of inputs for adding on sensors and leds)

 

 

Grove gas sensor (Detects gas leakages in a home)

 

 

SENSORS:

Shinyei PPD42 Particulate Matter Detector

MiCS-2714 Gas Sensor (NO2)

MiSC-2614 Gas Sensor (Ozone)

MQ-9

 

Carbon Monoxide Sensor:

MQ-7

 

Hydrocarbon gasses Sensor:

MQ-2

 

 

 

 

Misc Stuffs:

5v power supply

RGB 16x2 LCD shield for displaying stuff

 

Internet shield

- arduino Ethernet shield (Connect arduino to the internet to display data that way)

 

 

 

 

 

Krypto

 

Nothing much is to be said about this really

 

However make sure to practice, for example this tool is pretty good.

 

 

 

 

 

Eggdrop

 

There haven't been a lot of rules released for this event yet.

 

This year, we need to design a parachute and have a egg survive a drop without any other protection.

Therefore, the design will look something like an egg attached to some sort of parachute. Shouldn't be the hardest thing to design.

 

Will update as more details are released.
