Who we are:Project Falcon is a team of students from the University of Sheffield who are designing and manufacturing a drone patent. This essentially is a drone with wings that have a variable incidence controller so they are always level because the angle at which the drone flies will change a lot. The use of this wing will allow longer flight times due to a greater efficiency as there is less dependency on thrust solely from the motors. We hope to then promote this design so it can be adapted and used for sustainable humanitarian relief or to help solve other worldwide problems and so are currently working on a payload system so the drone is able to transport cargo. Our website and social media can be found here:https://www.projectfalcon.uk/ Instagram: @ projectfalcon_uk Facebook: Project FalconAbout the Electronics:The drone uses the variable incidence wing principle however a controller will be needed for this to work. We are using a stepper motor driver to drive a stepper motor which will be able to accurately change the angle of the wing. We have developed the circuit on a breadboard using an Arduino Nano to measure the angle of the drone using a gyroscope. We would like the electronics to be as compact and light as possible as weight and size are crucial factors when designing any component for a drone. For the electronics we have multiple prototyping methods., including a laser cut .dxf of the drone outline allowing us to configure where different electronics components or systems will be positioned within the drone. This allows us to combat issues such as cable length and cooling early. The stepper motor due to its high power requirement will be powered directly from the battery used for the main drone electronics rather than from the voltage output of the main board. The circuit board can be powered from any voltage source on the drone as long as it is either 5v or high above this such as 12V or 24V.The screenshot above shows part of the full assembly with the stepper motor and gearing system that connects the motor to the spars of the wings. The bearing assembly for the spars including the mounting bracket can also be seen in the assembly. Here is a video of the prototype wing controller working: https://streamable.com/yvx46fCheck out our blog posts on our website to have a look at our progress throughout the project development. Version 1 PCB:The first version PCB has been designed using Fritzing which is a free PCB design tool. As a team we have decided to use this because some team members have previous experience using this software, everyone in the team can download it and it is clear to learn or use especially with no experience. The first version of the circuit board isnt extremely compact however it provide lots of flexibility with pin extensions and multiple possible input voltages. We decided on this because there are still a lot of design decisions to be made by other sub-teams which may impact the electronic system designs and so this provides a professional and reliable board but with the potential to use it within a variety of designs.

We are team SunrIde; the leading UK student-led University rocket team holding the National Altitude Record of UK amateur rocketry at 36,274ft since our latest launch. :)SunrIde consists of more than 50 hardworking engineering students ranging from Undergraduates to PhD from Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Sheffield. Founded in 2017, SunrIde has been expanding ever since, gaining international recognition, and maintaining four highly-engineered projects to achieve rocketry innovation through our research.Our primary goals are to push our limits to achieve innovation, and to provide rocketry enthusiasts with the opportunity to learn about and become involved in the space industry. Scheduled rocket launches for the Summer of 2021 are: - A starter-level mid-power solid (5000ft) for the National rocketry championship- A high-power solid to reach over 30,000ft for the Spaceport America Cup - A 12-dissertation level liquid fuel and high-power to reach over 10,000ftAs part of our endeavours, our Avionics Team has designed a modular board that will allow us to use the same PCB on all our rockets for 2021.We need to print eight PCB boards of dimensions approx 60mm*60mm. To simplify the purchase, there's no SMD components or need for assembly.Unfortunately this year our team has a very restricted budget. So we are asking for your support. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAdy8fZ4ZLM

Manchester CanSat ProjectFigure 1: AAS Team 2018/19 in TexasProject Areas of ActivityFigure 2: Manchester CanSat Project’s Internal Structure and Activity AreasThe CanSatThe term CanSat stands for “can-sized satellite”, typically launched in sounding rockets. CanSat Competitions around the globe attempt to simulate the life-cycle of a real industry project, from the early initial design stages to the post-flight review. Manchester CanSat Project will focus on the design and build of CanSats.The AAS US CanSat CompetitionThe AAS US CanSat Competition Team consists of a combination of ten undergraduate and graduate students. Each member must go through a selection process to assess them both academically and personally. The core goal of this team is to enter the 2020 AAS US CanSat competition which is held annually in the USA. Full details of the competition can be found in Appendix A. WorkshopsThe second activity area of the Project is primarily aimed at developing the technical, interpersonal and practical skills, as well as the general employability of junior members through weekly, educational workshops. These workshops are aimed at STEM students at the University of Manchester, offering students the chance to work in a team towards the end goal of building a fully functional CanSat (which can be later launched at the UK CanSat Competition). The workshops also give students the chance to discover and practice topics that they wouldn’t otherwise be taught in their course. Such topics, which apply directly to the design of a CanSat-type system, including: Embedded Programming (C++), Computer Aided Design (SolidWorks), FDM 3D printing, Soldering and Electronic Circuit Prototyping. This year we also intend to add a new topic, PCB design. This will help develop yet another real world skill for participants. The curriculum of these workshops have been developed to provide easy, introductory exercises for beginners and also challenging problems for people with prior experience.We are expecting approximately 50 students to attend from a range of degrees including Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics and EEE associated degrees. The UK CanSat Competition The MCP founded the first ever UK CanSat Competition in 2018 aimed at UK university students, and the 2019 edition was held on the 14th of April at Midlands Rocketry Club. A total of eight teams attended the finals; three teams from the University of Manchester, two teams from Imperial College London, two teams from the University of Bristol, and one team from the University of Warwick. As in 2019, the competition proved to be very successful and all teams performed exceptionally well, and judges were impressed by the level of expertise demonstrated by students.On the back of this success, we are aiming to provide a larger scale competition this year, with stricter guidelines and further objectives. It will also include multiple deliverables, namely the Design Review Document, the Flight Readiness Review, Launch Operations, and the Post Flight Review, which are similar to what the AAS Team counterparts must complete. We are anticipating the Competition to expand to see 10 to 15 teams in the 2020 UK CanSat Competition. Each team will be provided with the templates for the Design Review Document and the Post Flight Review Document, and the Mission Guide, which outlines all requirements and guidelines for the Competition. They will also be provided with access to all of MCP’s workshop content, including YouTube videos with explanations of MCP Workshops content and the Design Review Document.For the coming years, the UK Open competition will mirror the US counterpart as a competition in itself, with the hopes that it will eventually attract the sponsors required to send the top UK team to the US. It is also expected that we will be able to move forward to a European Competition, rather than just the UK within 5 years. Outreach EffortsManchester CanSat Project plans to participate in the University of Manchester Freshers’ Fair, School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering Freshers’ Fair and the School of MACE Student Experience Fair.Manchester CanSat Project also plans to take part in various Open Days at the School of MACE for prospective A-Level students looking to explore the “challenges, opportunities and rewards of academic and social life at The University of Manchester”. At these Open Days, the students and parents are able to interact with both past and present MCP team members and gain an insight into what extracurricular activities the School of MACE has to offer.This year, MCP has the aim of further expanding their outreach activities in collaboration with the ESA’s ESERO York branch with the European CanSat Competition aimed at students aged 14 to 20. Similar to last year, MCP will continue to help out by providing constructive feedback and support to participating schools across the UK with their deliverables, and at the regional events. The Project is also planning to visit schools in the North-West region to encourage participation in the Competition, and to encourage students to become more involved in space-related projects. Project Goals and ObjectivesMCP aims to provide a platform for enthusiastic STEM students from the University of Manchester to develop their spacecraft engineering skills, alongside their soft skills such as communication and collaboration. Engineering courses in the UK are built to be general and do not allow students with opportunities to specialise, due to accreditation specifications. The CanSat project will enable students to specialise and consequently make them more competitive graduates.The MCP goals are as below:To compete in the 2020 AAS US CanSat CompetitionFinish in top five overall.Enhance the skills of team members by pushing their academic and teamwork abilities to the limit.Demonstrate the high-calibre of The University of Manchester’s students on an international stage.Demonstrate the high-calibre of UK-based engineering students on an international stage.To run the workshops within the University of ManchesterIntroduce students to a practical space related project, through CanSat design.Attract more students at the core of the project, as well as increase and broaden the outreach of the weekly workshops.Develop an efficient transition model, by permitting the exchange of retiring US team members with the most talented and committed members of the UK teams.To expand and manage the UK CanSat Competition Attract more than ten teams to join the competition.Create more opportunities for UK students to get involved in space-related projects.Give students a platform to develop essential industry skills.Outreach ActivitiesIntroduce students aged 14 to 20 to space-related projects and develop their enthusiasm for the space industry.Continue our partnership with ESERO York to provide help to regional High School students taking part in the High School ESA CanSat Competition.Continue to host Open Day events to entice prospective students to join the space engineering field and participate in activities and projects relating to space.Organise and participate in Freshers’ Week events to showcase what extracurricular activities the university has to offer, and to encourage new students to develop skills outside of their degree. Achievements 2018/19Placed 10th at the AAS US CanSat Competition: MCP achieved a score of 95.5 % after the Preliminary Design Review presentation - placing us in the finals, 99 % for our Critical Design Review presentation, 100 % for our Flight Readiness Review, and 10th overall in the finals that took place in Stephenville, Texas.Placed 1st at the UK CanSat Competition: MCP succeeded in organising the second UK CanSat Competition, where eight teams representing four different universities gathered to launch their CanSats. One of the teams representing the University of Manchester performed exceedingly well, producing deliverables of great quality and achieving 1st place with a score of 90.6 %.Delivered a year’s worth of Workshops for STEM Students at the University of Manchester: From the beginning of the academic year, students from the University of Manchester could also attend the MCP Workshops that led to building functional CanSats at the end of the year. At the beginning of the year, 48 students took part in our first workshop and were subsequently gathered into 6 teams, from which 3 groups ultimately launched their CanSats. 30-40 people consistently attended workshops.Expanded outreach activities: In collaboration with ESERO York, we have been active in helping out with ESERO’s CanSat Competition for students aged 14-20, including reviewing deliverables and assisting with judging at the nationals that took place in York.Social MediaMCP has expanded our influence across social media platforms with the aim of keeping our sponsors and followers up-to-date with our activities. This has been achieved by providing regular updates on our Facebook page and posting pictures on our Instagram. Furthermore, the MCP website is now fully up-to-date with all of our content available. The website also contains application forms for both the UK CanSat Competition and the US Team for the next academic year. It is hoped that this can provide more information for individuals wishing to follow and/or apply to our activities.Important Links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UoM.MCPInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/manchestercansatproject/Website: https://manchestercansatproject.com/AppendicesAppendix A – AAS US Competition Brief and RequirementsThe AAS US CanSat competition is an annual competition held in USA. This year the venue is changing from Texas to Virginia. The 2020 mission is to design a CanSat that deploys a delta wing glider. The Cansat shall be launched to an altitude ranging 670 meters to 725 meters above the launch site and deployed near apogee (peak altitude). Once the CanSat is deployed from the rocket, the CanSat shall descend using a parachute at a descent rate of 20 m/s. At 450 meters, the container shall release the science payload. The science payload shall glide in a circular pattern with a radius of 250 meters collecting sensor data for one minute and remain above 100 meters after being released. Afterwards, the glider shall deploy a parachute to cause the glider to stop gliding.For more information, please visit the AAS CanSat website: http://cansatcompetition.com/mission.html

### DESCRIPTION ( Introduce yourserlf and your project)I am a student in biomedical engineering at "Université libre de Bruxelles". I am currently undertaking an intership at University College London in the Aspire CREATe laboratory. My project aims to help people who have had a spinal cord injury (SCI). Neurogenic bladder is a common condition resulting from =SCI. Currently I am developing a device to calculate the pressure in the bladder in real time. Monitoring and controlling bladder pressure is necessary to avoid muscle overactivity which increases the pressure resulting in incontinence.A prototype board has been made; however, it is too big for use in a hand-held device. I modified the board design to reduce the size of the device, and hence need a PCB to connect the smaller, surface mount components. ### TECHNICAL DETAILS (With project photos) The aim of the project is to measure the vesical and abdominal (rectal) pressures to derive the pressure taking place inside the detrusor which is related to its contraction. This must be done using an ambulatory device since the final device will be portable. The pressures are recorded and converted by a transducer into an electrical voltage. This signal must then be transmitted to a microchip and stored on an micro SD card before being wirelessly sent to a smartphone to be computed and displayed for analysis. Hereunder, you can find a summary of the specifications of the device to be constructed:### Words to PCBWay This is my first PCB designed in the UK. I had no idea where to print my PCB. I asked different people to advise me. Everybody told me about PCBWay. This site was recommended to me by my supervisors, my colleagues, and others at the university.

About me Hi PCBWay team and users I am Adam Redfern from the UK. I am 15 and I'm a aspiring engineer, I hope to go on to study electrical and electronic engineering at collage next year to help with my application to collage I am designing, documenting & building a project to the desired specification. All of my electronics knowledge is self taught over the past 2 years and I am wanting to consolidate all my knowledge in this project. I am looking for PCBWay's support in this project to help keep costs down. Project introduction The roject is a device that is designed to be used in a industrial environment to control loads and monitor their power consumption, voltage & current. The project is going to be enclosed in a DIN rail enclosure as it is meant to be used in a industrial cabinet. I am designing all the circuitry from scratch and will code it myself. The outputs will be controlled by solid state relays and the outputs will be able to be monitored. The project will be controlled by an Atmel microcontroller and will be programmed in AVR Studio. I have included a copy of the project report wh8ich goes into more information but please be aware the project report is not finished yet. PCB details I m looking to build the systems PCB's though PCBWay. Below are the list of PCB's that are required:Main control and relay board - Qty 5, 2 layer 207mm x 86.5mmTQFP to DIP prototype board - Qty 5, 2 layer 130mm x 29mm240v to 24v power supply unit - Qty 5, 2 layer 68mm x 86.5mm

My name is Josh Butcher and I am a Univeristy Student Studying IT Security With Forensics and currently Live in the UK.My project consists of a basic design as shown below (I am wanting to adapt this to further it's usability), the concept and basic process behind it is that a it is a Packet monitoring PCB which will allow a remote connection to monitor network traffic physically on a binary/Hex scale allowing for a huge amount fo control and monitoring in terms of what you are passing over the network. Wether it is encrypted, salted or what type of Hash it is being sent thorugh. This could allow for a great number of testing and security audtiing of software/applications being made. I have curretnyl got to a point where iteration 1.0 is now working, Also uploaded below is an image of the packet captured using the device in HEX. However I am wanting to advance this into having a neweevr version which will do this remotly and dave it locally on an SD card of some kind, where as now the device is currently very manual.Example of the current PCB 1.0 Version: (Basic)The physical Design made 1.0 Version:The Schematic View 1.0 Version:Design of how this works fully:Basic Understanding of How Infomation Is Passed (Router usually in between or Switch).We can now use the LAN tap to look at what infomation is being sent between these computers/devices.The computer with the Purple connection is the LAN tap device which is monitoring the traffic to look for flaws in application/bad encryption and what type of encrytpion. The data it captures is listed as an image below (Wireshark was used but with your help i'm wanting to make this native to the device for version 2.0.What it was trying to do: (Netgear was broadcasting to other devices)with the infomation:So Where Am I now?I have currently Tested the above PCB with th appropriate tests and It was a sucess, I was able to capture packets from a third party device and read it's Hex files (What data it sent). As shown below. I am wanting to make this into a standalone unit where no Wireshark is required and packets can be saved to an SD card.

We are going to work with our full time learners to create the sensor driven buggy and like many of our class projects intend to make it to a competition with local sponsors to inspire the young for the future (examples below). Here is the casing around our dalek project Community Introduction with related Community activity photos: We are working with about 250 engineering students in the department ranging from level 2 to level 5. I am an electronic Engineer and am working to inspire the learners in the electronics field. We have generated an idea to enthuse learners into electronics by making a sensor driven dalekfor the 12-14 year old community project for the summer and then use this to inspire our 16 year old learners by using the same board to make a sensor driven buggy in a combined manufacture and design unit. This will give them a real sense of what they can do with electronics. We plan to make a competition out of the daleks within the community summer school in order to get more young people into the electronic engineering field to help fill the uk skills gap. We are making sensor driven daleks and buggies that will teach the learners about assembly, programming, sensors, motor drive and power requirements of such buggies/daleks. We are making sensor driven daleks and buggies that will teach the learners about assembly, programming, sensors, motor drive and power requirements of such buggies/daleks. The buggies/daleks are driven by 2 motors mounted in a plastic base with 2 IR sensors in the front of the base to detect a barrier to change direction. The PCB also has a programmable chip in it to make the exterminate sound when activated by a touching a copper strip. The Daleks will also act as a desk tidy.
