No Pennies Plz
The final completed project!
1) the title and “strapline" of your project:
- No Pennies Plz: The Small Change Solution for the Savvy User
2) introductions to the team members
- Just me: Brendan Ward, Gallatin Senior, Sociology and Design
3) the “elevator pitch” of your project:
- It's a change box that tracks your total $$$ and sorts your coins into different recepticals.
- NO pennies though
4) description of the target audience:
- Anyone who saves change and can do without pennies
5) description of the need and/or existing interaction that the project mediates:
- It enhances the piggy bank into something that is interactive and much more useful
6) a step-by-step guide, with either photos or video, that clearly shows "how it works” from a user’s perspective
- see video below:
- Turn on
- Put coins in visually and size coordinating slots
- Read LCD total
7) a short discussion of where the project succeeded in its goals:
- It works pretty great
- With glass jars inside the sound of the coins dropping in is so satisfying!
- I lasercut the housing so I think it is quite aesthetically pleasing.
8) a short discussion of where the project failed to achieve its goals:
- The only real failure is the aesthetics of the inside of the box, which you wouldn't see very often anyway
9) what you would do differently next time:
- I might try to make it smaller
10) final thoughts/observations
- I will definitely use this thing! It's a great final/retirement of my Arduino!
