Iphrojekthi yekhaya elihlakaniphile iyawina embukisweni wesayensi lapho iphendula ngenombolo, hhayi lapho yenza isibani sikhanye. Abahluleli sebebone ukwakha okuningi okuvulayo lapho ushaya izandla noma uphakamisa isandla. Okuletha amamaki umbuzo ocacile ongawukala, ukuhlola okuqotho okunokuqhathaniswa nakho, nedatha eyethulwe ngendlela eyenza umphumela ukholeke. Njengoba isikhathi sombukiso weTemu 4 sesifikile, nansi indlela yokuthatha noma yikuphi ukwakha okusebenzayo ukuguqule kube ukuhlola kwesayensi kwangempela, kanye nezinhlaka zamaphrojekthi eziyisithupha ongazilungisa.

Yini ngempela abahluleli abayinikeza amamaki

Ukubonisa kukhombisa ukuthi into ethile iyenzeka. Ukuhlola kwesayensi kuphendula ukuthi into eyodwa iyayishintsha yini enye, nokuthi ngakanani. Yilesi sikhala lapho amaphrojekthi amaningi ekhaya elihlakaniphile alahlekelwa khona amamaki. Isibani esikhanya lapho ungena egumbini kungukubonisa nje. "Ingabe ukwehlisa ukukhanya kwezibani ngokulandela ukukhanya kwemvelo kunciphisa amandla asetshenziswa yizibani ngaphandle kokwehla ngaphansi kokukhanya okusebenzekayo?" lowo ngumbuzo wokuhlola kwesayensi.

Uma ufunda ishidi lokunikeza amamaki, kuvela izinto ezifanayo njalo: umbuzo oqondile, umbono ozohlolwa, isilinganiso sokuqhathanisa, izinto ozigcine zingashintshi, ukukala okuphindaphindiwe, nokuhlaziya okuqotho kwalokho izinombolo ezikushoyo. Yakhela lokho, hhayi umzuzu wokwethusa abantu.

Guqula ukuthi "iyasebenza" kube umbuzo ongakaleka

Khetha into ongayikala ngeyunithi ethile, bese wakha iphrojekthi njengokuqhathanisa. Izinto ezinhle ongazikala ekwakheni kwasekhaya zibandakanya:

• Amandla asetshenzisiwe — walinganise ngokuphindaphinda izinga lamandla edivayisi ngesikhathi ebivuliwe ngaso. Awudingi imitha ebizayo ukuze uqhathanise isikhathi sokuvuleka phakathi kwezinhlelo ezimbili.
• Isikhathi sokuphendula (i-latency) — amasekhondi phakathi kokuvuselelwa nokusabela kwesistimu, akalwe ngesibali-sikhathi noma ngezikhathi ezigciniwe.
• Ukwethembeka — kunombolo ethile yemizamo, mingaki eyibambile, eyiphuthelwe, noma evuseleleke ngamanga.
• Izinga lokulawula — ukuthi ilibamba liqine kangakanani izinga lokushisa elihlosiwe, izinga lomswakama noma ukukhanya, nokuthi ledlula kangakanani.

Ngayinye yalezi idinga isisekelo sokuqhathanisa nakho. "Ifeni yami ihlakaniphile" ayisho lutho ngokwayo. "Ifeni yami igcina igumbi lisebhandeni elincane kunokuvula ngesandla" lokho kungahlolwa.

Amaphrojekthi ayisithupha ombukiso wesayensi ekhaya elihlakaniphile

Ngayinye yalezi ingakhiwa ngempelasonto bese ikalwa phakathi nezinsuku ezimbalwa kusihlwa. Okubalulekile amakholomu amabili aphakathi: hlanganisa umbuzo ongakaleka nesilinganiso sokuqhathanisa esiqotho.

Iphrojekthi	Umbuzo ongakaleka	Okumele kukalwe	Okuqhathaniswa nakho
Isibani esilandela ukukhanya kwemvelo	Ingabe ukwehlisa ukukhanya ngokuzenzakalelayo kufike ezingeni elibekiwe kusebenzisa amandla amancane ngosuku kunebhalbhu ehlala ivuliwe njalo?	Isikhathi sokuvuleka namandla; izinga lokukhanya	Ibhalbhu efanayo evulwa ngesandla
Isibani esivuswa ukunyakaza	Ukulawula ngokunyakaza konga isikhathi esingakanani sokuvuleka uma kuqhathaniswa nokushiya isibani sivuliwe, futhi kukangaki kungamboni umuntu?	Imizuzu esivuliwe ehoreni; ukuphuthelwa nokuvuseleleka ngamanga	Isibani esishiywe sivuliwe isikhathi sonke
Ifeni elawulwa yizinga lokushisa	Ingabe ukulawula ngeluphu evaliwe kubamba izinga lokushisa elihlosiwe ngokuqinile kunokuvula ngesandla?	Izinga lokushisa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi; ukwedlula umkhawulo; isikhathi esisebhandeni	Ukuvula nokuvala ngesandla ngumuntu
Ukunisela ngokomswakama womhlabathi	Ingabe ukunisela okuvuswa umswakama kusebenzisa amanzi amancane kunohlelo olumisiwe lwansuku zonke kuyilapho kugcina umhlabathi usebhandeni elinempilo?	Ubuningi bamanzi; izibalo zomswakama womhlabathi	Ukunisela okumisiwe kanye ngosuku
I-timer ehlakaniphile ye-geyser	Ingabe ukushisisa amanzi kuphela ngezikhathi ezimisiwe kusebenzisa amandla amancane kunokuwagcina eshisa usuku lonke, kuyilapho esashisa ngesikhathi sokugeza?	Isikhathi sokushisisa; izinga lokushisa kwamanzi ngezikhathi zokusetshenziswa	I-geyser eshiywe ivuliwe njalo
Isexwayiso somnyango noma sewindi	Isistimu ibika ngokushesha nangokwethembeka okungakanani lapho kuvulwa?	I-latency kusuka ekuvulweni kuya esexwayisweni; ukuphuthelwa nokukhala ngamanga	Umuntu obhekile ngamehlo

I-timer ye-geyser kufanele iphawulwe ngokukhethekile kubalaleli baseNingizimu Afrika. Isishisi samanzi imvamisa singumthwalo omkhulu kunayo yonke ekhaya, futhi njengoba ukucishwa kukagesi kusiphoqa ukuthi sicabange ngesikhathi amandla asetshenziswa ngaso, iphrojekthi eshintshela ukushisisa ezikhathini ezimfushane iyakaleka futhi iwusizo ngempela.

Klama ukuhlola okuqotho

Ukuhlola okuqotho kushintsha into eyodwa ngesikhathi bese kugcina konke okunye kungashintshi. Lokho kulula ukukusho kodwa kulula nokukwenza ngendlela engeyona. Sebenzisa inguqulo ehlakaniphile nesilinganiso sokuqhathanisa ngaphansi kwezimo ezifanayo: igumbi elifanayo, isikhathi sosuku esifanayo, umthwalo ofanayo, izinga lokushisa lokuqala elifanayo. Bese uyaphinda. Umzamo owodwa awutsheli umahluleli lutho, ngoba ubusuku obubodwa obungajwayelekile bungawuguqula umphumela. Zama okungenani imizamo emihlanu kuya kweyishumi kohlelo ngalunye bese ubhala zonke izibalo kanye nesikhathi ezitholakale ngaso.

Bhala phansi nemithombo yamaphutha akho. Iwindi elishiywe livuliwe, usuku olunamafu, intambama efudumele — ukubala lezi zinto kukhombisa ukuthi uyakuqonda ukuhlola, futhi abahluleli bayakubona lokho.

Yethula idatha ngendlela eyenza abahluleli bayikholwe

Ishadi elilula lingcono kunodonga lwamagama. Faka inguqulo ehlakaniphile nesilinganiso sokuqhathanisa kugrafu efanayo ukuze umehluko ubonakale ngokushesha, bese ugcina itafula lemizamo eluhlaza ngezansi ukuze kungabikho ocabanga ukuthi ukhethe okukuthandayo kuphela. Beka amagama emigqeni yegrafu futhi usho amayunithi. Phetha ngomusho owodwa olula ophendula umbuzo wakho wokuqala, nomusho owodwa ngemikhawulo yalokho okutholile. Isithombe salokho okwakhile ngempela, hhayi isithombe esithengiwe, sitshela umahluleli ukuthi wakwakha wena.

Ukwakhele kuphi

Amaningi kulawa asebenza nge-microcontroller eyodwa nama-sensor ambalwa: i-sensor yokukhanya, i-sensor yokunyakaza, i-sensor yezinga lokushisa, i-probe yomhlabathi, noswishi we-magnetic reed. Thina sakha okwethu ebhodini le-sheenbot∞, elinama-input nesiboniso esisebhodini sokugcina izibalo ngesikhathi somzamo, kanti ikhithi yokuqala esitolo ihlanganisa ama-sensor avamile. Uma ufuna ukwakha unosizo, ama-workshop ethu amaholide ahambisa abafundi kuphrojekthi ekalwayo kusuka embuzweni kuya kugrafu. Kodwa iseluleko esingenhla sisebenza nakuliphi ibhodi — okunikeza amamaki ukuhlola kwesayensi, hhayi umkhiqizi we-chip.

Uhlu lokubheka: yakha bese uhlola

1. Bhala umbuzo njengokuqhathanisa okunenombolo kuwo.
2. Sho umbono ozohlolwa nomphumela ongawufakazela noma ongawuchitha.
3. Yakha inguqulo ehlakaniphile nesilinganiso sokuqhathanisa ongazisebenzisa zombili ngasikhathi sinye.
4. Gcina konke okunye kungashintshi: igumbi elifanayo, isikhathi esifanayo, umthwalo ofanayo.
5. Yenza okungenani imizamo emihlanu kuya kweyishumi kokukodwa ngakunye bese ubhala zonke izibalo.
6. Beka esishadini lokho okuhloliwe uqhathanisa nesilinganiso sokuqhathanisa; ugcine itafula elinezibalo eziluhlaza.
7. Bhala umusho owodwa ophendula umbuzo, nomunye ngemikhawulo.
8. Zilolonge ekuchazeni imizuzu emibili umahluleli angakulandela.

Okubalulekile

Amaphrojekthi athonyayo akuvamile ukuba yilawo akhazimula kakhulu. Yilawo anombuzo obukhali, isisekelo esiqotho, negrafu eyenza impendulo icace. Khetha ukwakha okukodwa etafuleni, ungeze isilinganiso sokuqhathanisa, ukukale kahle, bese uba nento umahluleli angayinikeza amamaki ngempela. Ukuze uthole eminye imibiko yamaphrojekthi, vakashela igumbi lezindaba.

Ngidinga ukwenza imizamo emingaki?

Iminingi ingcono. Zama okungenani imizamo emihlanu kuya kweyishumi efanayo ukuze isibalo esisodwa esingajwayelekile singanqumi umphumela. Bika ukusabalala kwezibalo zakho, hhayi isilinganiso kuphela.

Kuthiwani uma inguqulo ehlakaniphile ingongi lutho?

Umphumela ongemuhle usewumphumela. Abahluleli banikeza amamaki ukuhlola okuqotho nokwenziwe kahle kunokuwina okwenziwe ngamaqhinga. Chaza ukuthi kungani izinombolo ziphume kanjalo nokuthi yini obungayishintsha ngokuzayo.

Ngidinga i-inthanethi noma i-app?

Cha. Iphrojekthi egcina izibalo esibonisweni esisebhodini noma ebhala izibalo efayeleni kulula ukuyiphinda, futhi kulula ukuyivikela, kunaleyo encike ekutheni i-wifi isebenze ngesikhathi sokwahlulela.
