Electric Cooler & Warmer
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
We are looking for an experienced engineer/designer to create a thermoelectric cooling and warming container with digital controls, IoT Matter integration, a removable battery, and a charging station. The project involves designing and developing both the hardware and software components to ensure a functional and user-friendly product.
The project includes the design and development of a thermoelectric cooling and heating system using Peltier modules, integrated with heat sinks and fans for efficient heat dissipation. The unit should be well-insulated to maintain the desired temperature. The unit should also have 50 litres of space inside it for items to be cooled/warmed. The digital control system will be microcontroller-based and will include an LCD display and control buttons for setting and monitoring the temperature, with a control algorithm (e.g., PID control) for precise temperature regulation.
The IoT integration will involve Matter-compatible hardware to enable remote temperature control and monitoring. The firmware should support the Matter protocol.
Additionally, the project requires designing a removable, rechargeable battery pack (e.g., Lithium-ion or Lithium-polymer) that is easy to insert and remove. A charging station with a docking mechanism for the battery pack, including charging circuitry and LED indicators, will also be developed.
The design should be aesthetically pleasing, using high-quality materials and finishes, and ergonomic to ensure ease of use.
