La Giorgi Evaluation Board

Faire: Rome

Maker: IIS Giorgi-Woolf Roma

 

The work was born with the idea of designing and creating a multidisciplinary electronic teaching board, usable by the students of the institute for the verification of applications of the main devices, circuits and systems used in the technical disciplines. The project envisaged all the development phases of a commercial circuit, from the conception of the electrical diagram with the definition of the electronic circuitry and the choice of components up to the assembly and testing. The system is completely reconfigurable via software and provides for interfacing with various sensors and actuators to allow customization, various configurable conditioning channels, a microcontroller with Wi-Fi and BT connectivity, a power circuit, a display and buttons for interaction with the user and for the occasion is configured to respond to the need to improve safety in all those spaces where potentially toxic concentrations of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide can accumulate. "The Giorgi Salvavita", in the event of exceeding predefined thresholds, notifies the proposed center. Furthermore, the measured parameters are of fundamental importance for the analysis of environmental quality.
