Introduction: Inventory Drawer "Smart Cities Hackathon Qualcomm17"
In the next document, you can see the
process of construction and programming of an intelligent drawer. This drawer was programmed in a Dragon Board 410c, with the purpose of improving the quality of cities. The project is part of the contest “smart cities hackathon Qualcomm 17”.
The idea of this project began with a problem that very few people see, which is the lost and bad manage of tools and material that is provided by companies such as factories and even hospitals. In these places, some materials and tools are provided to the workers to do activities, this material and tools must be reused because they are expensive or the lack of economic resources to replace them.
In hospitals, there are people who take control of the materials that are removed, but when there is a human intervention there is the error, which can lead to unnecessary expenses. The best solution to this problem is an intelligent drawer capable to maintain an inventory of objects that are borrowed and returned and at the same time know who is the responsible.
Step 1: Materials
The material needed for the project is the next:
1 x Dragon Board 410c
1 x Sensor Mezzanine 96 Boards for Dragon Board 410c
1 x Breadboard
1 x MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) sheet 61 x 122 cms
5 x sensor CNY 70
1 X TIP31B
1 x electromagnet
1 x 7408
1 x Keyboard
1 x screen
3 x screws
Resistances (variety)
Copper wires
Glue
Drill
Step 2: Cut the Pieces for the Drawer in the MDF. (For Better Results Use a Laser Cutter)
Step 3: Paste All the Pieces Together to Form a Drawer With Two Little Drawers and a Big One.
Step 4: Screw the Screws in the Middle of Each Drawer.
Step 5: With the Drill Make Holes Through the Drawer in the Back Side, the Hole Must Be the Size of the Sensor.
Step 6: Weld Each Sensor CNY 70 With the Copper Wires. (repeat 4 Times More)
Step 7: An Especial Circuit Is Used for the Sensor.
Step 8: Connect the Sensor Mezzanine to the Dragon Board 410c. (used to Access the GPIO)
It is very important that this step be done with the dragon board off, if not it can burn, besides all the PIN need to be placed correctly.
Step 9: Connect the Circuit From the Breadboard to the Mezzanine
Step 10: Write or Copy the Code.

}Step 11: Run the Program.
Step 12: Conclusions
The project has a future promising, since it can improve in a very effective way, the sensors can be changed for RFID´S tags and at the same time with the RFID is possible to use ID cards to monitorize who is responsible of the material.
