Student, Dec. 2017
Designed and created a user-detecting smart shower that uses ultrasonic sensors and user input to schedule, preheat, and save water during showers. In addition to the ultrasonic sensors, the final design involved the integration of solenoids, a thermistor, a numberic keypad, two servos attached to a gimbal, a serial display, a power relay, and the SmartFusion FPGA board.
The team included four team members and a budget of $200 with the goal of designing a marketable product. The source code is not available to the public due to the University of Michigan Engineering Honor Code, but the project poster, used during the demo day, is below.
