Laser Image Display Team Ingenuity Patrick Beler Jeong Kim Brad Odums Ryan Williams
Why Lasers? • Range of Colors • Turn-on time nearly instantaneous • Energy Efficient
Work To Date: Power • All parts are ordered • Cannot test/work on circuits until all parts are in • PCB designs completed
Work To Date: Optics • All parts ordered • Cannot begin to test/work on anything until all of the parts come in
Work To Date: Audio • All parts ordered • PCB design competed • Circuit has been breadboarded
Audio Circuit Breadboard Audio Breadboard Audio Oscilloscope
Work To Date: Programming • Code for separating 3 component images completed • Runs before the information is sent to microcontroller / Uses OpenCV to separate color information pixel by pixel
Component Images - Full RGB - Blue Component
Work To Date: Temperature Control • PCB design • Ordered parts • Breadboarded circuit
Design Challenge: XCUBE Size • The XCUBE measures 35mm (~1.4”) on a side • Our TFT screens measure 3.5” diagonally or roughly 3” across • This issue has been tested and resolved for the most part, the XCUBE was able to image a Television perfectly onto a wall, so we are no longer worried about this
Design Challenge: Temp Sensor • Testing of correct operation at high temperatures will be difficult to achieve • We need to ensure that the cooling circuit will turn on at the high temperatures as designed
Projected Work : Power • Test the designs as parts come in • Send PCB designs off to be made • Implement the designs on the PCBs • Do a final testing of the circuits
Projected Work : Optics • Finalize layout of lenses and lasers • Test all components as they come in • Mount all components for the final product
Projected Work : Audio • Send PCB design off to be made • Finish the circuit • Final testing of the circuit
Projected Work: Programming • Ensure TFT connections to communicate with processor • Begin programming microcontrollers to input pixel information to TFT screens
Projected Work: Cooling • Test temperature IC • Breadboard circuit with temperature IC • Send PCB design off to be made • Integrate cooling circuit to power supply
