Optic Box:

For making the device screen people with different refractive error the optic box had to be moved inside the casing. To achieve this, a sliding system was created by making positive rails on the optic box and negative rails inside the casing.

The box has stress at the edges as its weight is concentrated at the rails. Hence the strength of the edges of box had to be increased. Holes at the edges were provided for mounting screw fasteners to increase the strength of the optic box.

Rack and Pinion Mechanism:

To impart motion to optic box, rack and pinion mechanism has been used. The rack has been placed on the optic box and the pinions are assembled inside the eye piece with a rod which transmits motion to different planes and eventually to the racks. The pinions are assembled inside the eyepiece with the help of a bracket. The bracket holds the pinion in its place while giving it freedom to rotate in the plane.

LCD:

The Waveshare 5 inch LCD has mounts to assemble the LCD onto a surface using screw fasteners.

LCD with mounts

But, to accommodate the LCD inside the front casing we have to cut the mounts that come with the LCD.

LCD without the mounts

To assemble the LCD with the Front casing we made a support for the LCD which would act like a mount for the LCD.

PCB of Batteries:

The PCB of the Batteries has to be placed inside the Middle casing. To assemble it inside the middle casing a mount has been created on which the PCB is fastened with the help of nut and bolt fasteners.

Click Switch:

The Click switch has been mounted inside the middle casing using a mount. It is first mounted into the mount and is then assembled inside the middle casing using screws.

Knob:

The knob made earlier was slippery, thus the total motion imparted was not transmitted due to slipping. The knob is given texture to increase grip and friction and help in transmitting motion to the rod.

Toggle Switch:

To regualte power to raspberry pi and LED's, a switch has been incorporated in the pcb. But there wasn't any switch to on/off the LCD screen. Thus a double switch was made which would facilitate as a switch to both the screen and raspberry pi,LED.Here are some of the images showing the making of a double switch.

Camera Spacer:

To mount the camera to the Optic box a 4mm mount is used to create space between the optic box and the camera. This is needed to ensure that the camera is perfectly centered and parallel to the plane of sight.
