Find and Solve a problem, due 11:59pm, 2 Sep, 2019. Please start a new post in the category for Assignment 2.
Details following the example I showed in class:
Find a problem to solve: No Audio Feedback When Configuring a Washing Machine
Describe the general solution: Washing machine should have audio feedback when buttons are pushed that provides more information than a simple “beep” notification. Washing machine should also describe its current status on command using voice to relate the values of the LED displays.
Proof of Concept: an Arduino with switches, LEDs, and a speaker with a state machine of a washing machine. Pushing buttons causes the LEDs to change and plays a sample on the speaker stating the status of a configuration. Example: temperature control selection plays samples of water temperature, “Hot”, “Medium”, “Cold”, “Tap Cold”.

Sorry, but could you explain more about the last one – photos/videos of the proof of concept?
Does it mean, we make a simple fake prototype, and explain how it will work and solve the problem?
No, that’s just a placeholder for when we make a real thing. For this, a sketch or a cad model or a drawing is fine.
