Problem Statement

The hardest thing for a parent to do is let their young child out of their sight. Ensuring safety at all times is difficult, and every night you want to ensure a safe enviornment for your child. This project's goal is to bring an easy to use, safe, sensory nursury light that is wirelessly charged - ensuring no loose cords to help keep the child safe all throughout the night.

Constraints

Functional Requirements:
- Design must be battery powered and charged wirelessly.
- Design must be able to alternate between two brightness levels by tapping on it (constraint).
- Light must automatically dim and shut off after ten minutes (constraint).
- At all times when the light is turned on/off it must do so smoothly as to not wake the baby.

Resource Requirements:
- Project must utilize Arduino and remain programmable.
- Project must use a Lithium Polymer battery.

Qualitative Aesthetic Requirements:
- Design must be soft and easily approachable for children.
- Design must emit amber or other warm-levels of light.
- Design is not required to be commercialized or mass-manufactured.

Performance Requirements:
- Battery life lasts longer than three days during standard use (constraint).

Design

Our design uses a programmable Arduino Nano Every as a base, using external touch sensors, battery, battery charger, light strips, transistor, and battery control board to build out our base circuit. The goal is to keep a programmable and easy-to-modify base to allow for customization and personalization of the project.
Utilizing a composite FDM and SLA printed housing, our project resides in a functional "mug" design that can transport required materials while using touch sensors in the handle to control brightness and power.
