Description:
EoS has a range finder on the right hand side that transmits it’s distance to the arduino in store, which in turn displays this data on a micro OLED screen. The OLED screen is reflected off a mirror and shows up on the lens in front of the user’s eye creating a heads up display. There is also a switch to turn it on and off along with a charging port in case the battery runs out of power.
Reaction:
Overall I was very happy with how the project turned out, it was fully functional and was also fairly accurate for the range finder not having a very good range. The only problem was some people were not able to see the numbers on the heads up display which might be an issue of people having different focal lengths.
The biggest hurdle I had to overcome was the original range finder not working properly so I had to pivot to a cheaper range finder that didn’t have anywhere near the same range. Other hurdles involved not having enough space in the 3D printed housing so I had to drill out more space, and I also had to drill a hole big enough to fit the charging cord in the back of the housing.
If I had more time I would definitely redo the housing so that it would properly fit all the components without me having to drill out some extra space. I also would spend more time trying to figure out how to use the original range finder so that I could have a range that is actually practical.
But in the end I was happy with what I accomplished and it met my expectations for my first engineered project.
