13. THE VICTIMS

I thought I'd dedicate a post to the two plush toys I decided to dissect for the purposes of this project.

Name: Nico the Panda (named after Nicolo Machivelli)
Age: 5 yrs
Total height: 38cm
Body diameter: 23cm
Body volume (est): 6370.63cm³

Nico is like a very generic teddy-bear shape, with a large ish torso volume, and thus a pretty "safe" size to be able to fit all the electronic parts inside.




 This next victim is a really old plush toy that my mum managed to dig up when I told her I needed some blood sacrifices to increase my grades.

Name: Lady Dog
Age: ~15 yrs
Total height: 24cm
Body diameter: 7cm
Body volume (est): 179.59cm³

It's much smaller compared to the panda, and she's the target size that I'm using as like the minimum size of the toy module. If my final module can fit in her then I think it should be small enough for most conventional childrens' plush toys.

5. Arduino Explorations

After getting feedback on my project proposal, I have amended the Gantt chart to add more time for the technical exploration involved in this project. The feedback was overall positive, with comments on my ability to convey ideas effectively. However, I also need to take care that I execute the things that I'm planning to do. This post will be covering the technical explorations into the physical components needed for this project. Based on  this tutorial , I'm planning to purchase a  HC05 or HC06 module, which should be able to enable my Arduino Uno to communicate with other devices using Bluetooth. HC-06 Bluetooth Module In terms of dealing with battery charging, I'm considering making a toy which has wireless charging, so that users don't need to open up their plush toy each time they need to charge their toy module. With this in mind, after looking through these instructions and consulting with Ron the tutor , I've decided that instead of coiling up...
