Lab Assignments for Week of 7 Oct


L5: Lab Homework Assignment


Design a case for your Arduino board in Autocad. Make sure your case meets the following criteria:
  1. Can easily be built out of cardboard (any type)
  2. Covers 3 sides of the board (leave the top open and the back open)
  3. Provides a method to mount the Arduino board that meets the following requirements.
    1. The mount must secure the Arduino board to the case
    2. You may use up to 4 bolts and nuts, or 4 nails to secure the board to the case. However, if you decide to use these parts, you will have to provide them
    3. You may not rest the board directly on the cardboard. This is primarily to minimize heat issues.
    4. If you want to insulate the Arduino board from the cardboard, you may use a piece of plastic or tape. This may only be done at the mounting points.
  4. Allows for cords and wires to easily reach the board
Please, make sure your drawings are properly AND clearly labeled. Print the results out on a 1:1 scale. Don't forget to include a title block on every page of your printout. Note --- If you run into space issues, you may reduce the size of the font in the title block. Also, include a separate page of written assembly instructions. This will include details on how to glue, cut, and/or tape the pieces together. The goal of this project is to create an Arduino that can be easily manufactured with the instructions you have provided. However, this case also has to be a "solution." In other words, it will have to meet all your needs during this class as well as be usable for others after the class. All these factors will affect your grade.
