Custom parts and enclosures

KeyMat CAD File

This is the complete assembly of the mat. The format is .igs, so it should import to most CAD software programs.

KeyMat Inventor CAD Files

The 3D model was originally done in AutoDesk Inventor. This is a zip file which contains all the separate files as well as the assembly file.

Schematics

KeyMat System

This general system lays out the important components of the KeyMat. It shows how power and data move along the components of the system in a quick and easy diagram. It includes the 3 by 5 copper tape grid that act as touch sensors; this allows the mat to knows where the person is. This diagram also includes how the system connect the arduino, the computer, the LED lights, and the app.

KeyMat Wiring Diagram

This diagram shows the inputs and outputs for the KeyMat in order to allow for easy recreation.
