Lock Box
Rodrigo Aceves
Greetings, at the time of this project, I am a senior studying Electrical Engineering at San Francisco State University. As a learning assistant for Physics 3, I gained invaluable teaching experience, and I am honored to be a member of Tau Beta Pi. Volunteering in San Francisco communities to help grow an Asian-American farm and participating in talks on Black Lives Matter have been both humbling and rewarding experiences for me. Growing up on a farm in Southern California, I developed a strong work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit by helping my family plant, maintain, and sell dates. If you are interested in supporting my family's farm, you can click here to purchase dates while supplies last.

Mission Statement
This project involves creating an electronic lockbox using various components including a keypad, force sensor, two switches, a Ti Tiva C Series Board, a servo, and a BAR LED. The main goal is to provide users with the ability to program the lockbox during initialization and reprogram it in case they forget the password. Since this lockbox will rely on electrical components, it will include a sleep mode that is automatically disabled when the switch on the side of the box is triggered.
Workspace
Quantify Our Goals
A Failsafe
At least one interrupt
Be creative
Actuation Type
We will use a single servo that locks the box. Since this is a proof of concept, using the weak servo attachment should suffice.
