NID DIPLOMA PROJECT
PROTOTYPING PROCESS: DIGITAL WEIGHT SCALE •
Weigh your luggage as you lift it up
DON’T FORGET YOUR LUGGAGE •
Notifies you when you go out of threshold area.
•
Report Lost if the luggage is lost
•
Find your luggage, if in range.
SMART CABIN LUGGAGE PRODUCT IDEA #1
The prototyping is divided into following four parts: 1. Weighing Mechanism 2. Bluetooth Feature 3. Embedding the electronics into the suitcase 4. Designing the mobile application.
Figuring out the design
and prototyping process
Designing on paper: how the
first level prototype with look
STEP 1# THEORETICAL DESIGN VIA SKETCHING
Designing on paper: how the
first level prototype can be made

Since making a weighing mechanism is time consuming and challenging, I decided to use an o the shelf component, and do the feasibility testing.
Fixing of the weighing mechanism on the suitcase
Experiment Successful. The idea is Feasible. Tested by lifting the luggage and seeing if this gives and accuthe weighing mechanism still works!
STEP 2# A QUICK EXPERIMENT FOR FEASIBILITY CHECK OF WEIGHING MECHANISM
I ripped off the off-the-shelf weighing machine to understand how can I fit the existing piece of technology into the desired form
Then attached the weighing mechanism, to a card box so as to understand attachment to design the casing

STEP#2 A QUICK EXPERIMENT TO UNDERSTAND THE ATTACHMENT OF WEIGHING MECHANISM
Figuring out the measurements the casing according to the existing suitcas; by pasting a paper and marking accurate measurements for all the components
Taking the measurements
Marking the measurements
fFnal measurements
STEP#3 TAKING AND MARKING THE MEASUREMENTS FOR THE CASING INTERFACE ON THE SUITCASE
In order to design the casing, I made a few 3d models of paper. Measurements were not to scale, since it was an exercise to understand the complex 3d structures.

Final Sketches of the Casing
STEP#4 DESIGNING THE CASING BASED ON ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS
3D model on sketchup of the case
Spillitting the design to 2d faces
Acrylic Sheets Cut according to measurements
STEP#5 MAKING THE CASING ON SKETCHUP FOR ACRYLIC BOX
Interior of the acrylic case
Attaching the various faces into a box via superglue.
STEP#6 MAKING THE ACRYLIC BOX
The completed acrylic box, currently Exterior the acrylic Spillitting theofdesign to 2dcase faces
Making the circuit on Arduino Uno
Exploring with the team about Arduino
Exploring Taking with the the team measurements Arduino Software
Transferring Marking the the Unomeasurements Circuit on the Lilypad
STEP#7 FIGURING OUT THE ELECTRONICS
Final Circuit on Lilypad and BLE module
Working out the flow of the application
