13. The Get Up Stay Up alarm clock system requires a method of knowing when someone is in bed So in an abstract way the sensor system receives the question of is there a human occupant in the bed and transmits a boolean answer back to the system for it to decide what to do next This can be accomplished in a variety of ways including weight sensing distance and infrared The system ideally will be able to tell that only one person has left the bed if there are multiple occupants preventing conflicts if multiple users have different waking times At the absolute bare minimum the system should not give false positives for small pets backpacks purses luggage etc The sensor system should also be secure in that it cannot be fooled in any easy way that an occupant has left the bed The sensor system should also avoid being fragile if possible given that sleeping habits vary widely among people and sudden movements or sleep walking should not result in damage to the system or present the potential for personal injury to the user Lastly the sensor system shall be as uncomplicated as possible so as to be conducive towards ease of installation and reconfiguration by the end user 6 0 2 Assumptions In the design and implementation of the sensor system the following assumptions are made The user has a bed with at least one side against a wall the bed consists of a mattress on either a box spring or flat bed frame and the bed is within arm s rea

23. Manipulating both pieces of software became much easier after this Next the master schematic of the Gusu Alarm clock was created It was important to label the pins on this schematic so that they would match the pins on the pieces of hardware itself This schematic can be seen in the final design summary Most of the parts had to be manually created It was very important that each part including the basic miscellaneous parts such as resistors and capacitors each had their own part names The part names are required for linking to the PCB editor the PCB editor had to know what pins on each specific part which was known by its part name was supposed to connect to which pins on another part Also for simplicity most of the signals were not passed by physical lines rather they were tagged with labels and any two lines tagged with the same label were considered to be electrically connected This physical schematic is also attached in the Appendix The PCB editor was used to create a final PCB schematic This process was much more involved than the first step Each part that would be soldered onto the board had to have its true physical dimensions known and a figure had to be created in the program for it Although the editor did have parts such as common Page 116 DIP ICs available e g DIP 20 DIP 28 etc it did not have parts such as the buzzer or the multiplexor in its library and these had to be created from scratch If thes

54. 3 The easiest way to ensure the reduced current in the LED is to put it in series with a resistor The resistor would be chosen of course based on the voltage So if there was a 5V regulator and someone wanted to know how to tell if that regulator is truly outputting about 5V an LED and a resistor could be wired in series from the 5V voltage level to ground In this example the resistor to be chosen would probably be about 330 Ohms Using Ohm s Law that would create a current of about 15mA which would be more than enough to light the LED Now if there were ever significantly less than 5V coming out of the regulator the LED would be off to indicate that Chances are the voltage out of the regulator would be nearly 5 or nearly O Because of that if the light is lit up than there is a good chance that if anything is wrong it is not the power supply An example of a circuit with the LED installed is shown in Figure 9 2 1 1 4 FKIC ONU Figure 9 2 1 1 4 The LM7805 regulator with capacitors a switch and the LED installed Notice that it makes no difference whether the resistor or the diode is placed first in the series Reprinted with permission from Sparkfun Electronics Different colored LEDs can be found for prices that approach being free with minimal searching A quick search of SparkFun Electronics found red and yellow LEDs for only 0 50 each 53 There are many other suppliers and it could be added to any other orders from mo

D displays that were considered before choosing the appropriate one Ultimately the uOLED 160 G1 would prevail over the other displays that were looked into The first LCD display that was looked at was the 16x2 character LCD RS232 TTL This display had many of the features that were required by our alarm clock module This display required a 5V supply to power it while also having a high operating temperature range of up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit To work with the specific microcontroller that was chosen the display had to have an SPI interface SPI is short for Serial Peripheral Interface Bus which is a synchronous serial data link that will operate in full duplex mode Some advantages of the SPI interface over other interfaces such as I2C or SMBus are that it has a higher throughput as well as simple hardware interfacing The only real disadvantage of Page 47 the SPI interface is that it requires many more pins to run than the other interfaces Pricing for this display was set at about 24 00 which wasn t bad for this type of display but was a bit pricey After coming to the conclusion that the LCD RS232 TTL wasn t a suitable fit for the design because of limited capabilities of the LCD display and also the user friendliness of the hardware the uOLED 160 G1 seemed to be the right choice for the design that was chosen The team decided that the just standalone character LCD displays wouldn t look aesthetic enough for what the GuSu desig

Su unit for changing between RUN and SET mode was proposed This would force the user to have the key nearby turn the unit over or on its side and insert the key to turn the alarm from RUN to SET This would be easy to implement and relatively effective since the key could not simply be left in the key turn slot indefinitely Unfortunately this not only gives the user a Page 56 relatively quick way of silencing the alarm and returning to bed but if the key is lost or damaged the user loses control of the GuSu system Additionally having to keep track of the key and turn the unit over each time they wish to change modes would become a hassle after several uses Therefore this idea is being left out of the design due to the above complications and negative aspects 5 3 3 Physical User Interface Implementation The area surrounding the push buttons shall be flat allowing the user to find the buttons easily by brushing their fingers across the top surface of the GuSu unit The CENTER pushbutton should be slightly lower than other pushbuttons making it easier for a user to orient their fingers All other pushbuttons UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT shall be the same height and oriented at ninety degree intervals around the CENTER pushbutton LEFT and RIGHT shall be aligned along a line parallel to the front of the GuSu unit while UP and DOWN are oriented on a perpendicular line to LEFT and RIGHT Going clock wise the directional pushbuttons shall be w
