Make Life Accessible - ELapShelf - Introduction

rsc
rsc
7 Apr 2016

Abstract:

The purpose of this Design Challenge is to develop a device to solve an issue related to restricted mobility from illness or disability.  The constraints on the project include use of

the components provided in the kit, including the NXP FRDM-KV31  development board and FRDM-MC-LVPMSM. motor control board.

This entry is for a Motorized Articulating Table Top for bedside or wheelchair mounting.

Background:

I've been in the situation before where I had to stay in bed for a few days due to a knee injury, and I know how hard it can be to do anything constructive. A small table is nice to have to

use for eating, drawing, reading, laptop, tablet, or game use, and the available fold-up tables can be bulky and difficult to maneuver depending on the size, shape, and weight of the table.  The tables

used in hospitals are ok, although they also seem to be in the way or out of reach when you need to get something.

    Good idea, I was also thinking about mounting my soldering iron on the side and adding some handy-clamps as a little project table.

    Hi Scott, I like the idea of having a table/work-space like this.  Adding one to an office chair for a mouse pad, would be another possible application.  image

    All the best,

    Helene
