The Engineering Design Process Part 2: The Sound of Brightness

It is always good to reach higher, and to try to improve things. The same idea can also be applied to your creations, and the idea has been applied for Jason and I’s. After we looked at the yet-to-be-named device’s concept, and a rough generalization of the required coding, a small amount of potential flaws were discovered.

One potential flaw within our contraption is the speaker itself, the volume might be too loud and damage the listeners’s ears, or the volume might be too quiet to heard (making the device useless). After discovering this, Jason and I will make sure to test the device’s volume often during development. This will ensure that the device will function as intended and not do more harm than good. After gluing together this potential crack in the egg, another problem was found.

Technology is amazing when it functions, and that is the problem. If the parts of the machine do not function, then the machine will not function. While Jason and I were having a discussion about our device, the question of whether the parts would function or not came up. Although Microbits are generally reliable, they are not foolproof, and we recognize that. If our machine does not function even after the code has been fixed, then we might have to request for new equipment. Even if the chances of a broken part are low, it is always better to be safe than sorry.

Now that these problems have been addressed, Jason and I are confident that our device will preform the best that it can. We are also excited to be able to help more people, and to ensure that their daily lives are better than they are now.
