Final Progress

This week, we successfully accomplished the following things.
we successfully attached the 3D-printed holder to both the DC motor and micro servo.

• Attached 3D-printed holder to both the DC motor and micro servo
• Translated project to an Arduino Nano-every for better compatability
• Integrated micro servo
• Integrated display

Challenges

Initially, we struggled to get the display working with the Raspberry Pi, so we ended up needing to switch the entire system to an Arduino.  While this required rewriting some of the code, it ultimately made integration much smoother.

Final Thoughts & Potential Improvements

While SmartFan is now fully functional, there are a few areas where the project could be improved:
More Efficient Motor Control – The DC motor still requires a kickstart due to mechanical friction. Future iterations could explore a different motor or a more refined power management system.
Better Power Optimization – Implementing low-power modes or exploring a battery/solar-powered version could make SmartFan more energy-efficient.
