Status Update
Our Project: An alarm clock pillow cover.
We have our embedded prototype ready. This includes our
Arduino and motor circuitry, as well as, the android application
and the Bluetooth connections.
We have tested most of our initial metrics. We are preparing a
more comprehensive list to test at the moment.
Metrics
- BlueTooth Range:
Documented on next page
Method: Stand at distance and measure connection time taken.
- Idle Power Consumption:
~24 hours
Method: Periodically establish BlueTooth connection and measure how long it
takes for batteries to run out.
- Continuous Power Consumption:
>65 minutes
Method: Periodically establish BlueTooth connection (along with turning on
motors) and measure how long it takes for batteries to run out.
- Idle Current:
55mA (average)
Method: Use a multimeter to measure the current the battery uses when the
motors are not running.
- Continuous Current:
Low: 120mA Medium: 165mA High: 210mA
Method: Use a multimeter to measure the current the battery uses when the
motors are running.
Initial data
Looking Forward
What have we learned:
- Battery life is sufficient, but daily recharging may be required
- Bluetooth range is long enough for typical bedroom use
- We mostly remember how to solder from 18100
Still To Do:
- Complete phone application
- Packaging
- Test till our eyes bleed
