How to prevent your children from getting worse eyesight


Currently, myopia has become the primary reason for decreased vision in adolescents. The incidence of adolescent myopia increased year by year, while the age was getting younger year by year. Prevention and control of juvenile myopia have become an important global public health problem. Recently, an Australian scholar published a report saying that the prevalence of global myopia in 2000 was 22.9%. It is estimated that by 2050, myopia will comprise 49.8% of the global population. In other words, about half of the world's population will be myopic in 2050. This important data finding warns us that we should pay more attention to young people's vision problems and prevent vision loss as soon as possible.

Steps to prepare an Arduino Board:
1. Socket attachment
The first step would fix the socket seeing that it is fixed to the notch of the perf board. You can drill and create a larger notch on the board. You could also get an Amplifier Board or ICD Controller board. The Bluetooth power amplifier board is suitable for all small bluetooth speakers. The lcd controller board is compatible with Notebook, host computer, monitor, VGA, host DVI, Xbox/PS3/PS4, raspberry pie signal interface and so on.
2. Add a 5V and 3.3V Regulators
By holding the 7805 printed side down fix the 5 V and 3.3 V regulators using the decoupling capacitors. The 3.3V do not have the same pins as in 7805; hence make sure to keep the print sides towards you.
3. Indicator LED
Connect the LED to the output of 7805 regulators to indicate the power. Connect the anode to 150-ohm resistor and connect the resistor to the output of 7805. Plug in and make sure everything is fine.
4. Connect the power and ground pins
Connect the pins 7, 20 and of 5 volts; 8 and 22 to ground.
5. Reset Button
Take a pin to connect to 10k and then to 5v continuously connecting to the bush button to pin 1 along with other to ground.
6. Add on crystal oscillator
Connect 16 MHz oscillators to pins 9 and 10. After this connect the 22cp to pin 9 with other ends to ground. Repeat with pin 10.
7. LED on Pin 13
Connect red to pin 19 and cathode to 150-ohm resistor.
8. Female Headers
Label them all to avoid confusion and connect them to respective pins and make sure to be tedious.
9. Other headers

6. I love clean home
In addition to being a "smart" xiaomi robot, I am also a good helper for cleanliness. Strong high static pressure blower can effectively vacuum, at the same time with the side brush sweeping and other three-dimensional cleaning systems can easily absorb the floating dust, hair, debris, but also to deeply clean the floor and the floor gap. Even if you are barefoot walking on the ground, you can’t feel the slightest dust and grainy.

7. Surging suction, I have a strong lung capacity
With Japan's original NIDEC brushless motor, I can reach the maximum airflow of 0.67m3 / min, the maximum pressure is about 1800Pa, strong winds bring strong wind pressure can be quickly and effectively absorb the dust attached to the ground or carpet immediately.

8. Not miss any inch of the corner
In the cleaning process, the most troublesome problem is the wall of the gap. With my wall-side sensor, during the cleaning process, the xiaomi mi robot vacuum cleaner and the wall has always been accurate to maintain a distance of about 10mm, along with the high-speed rotation of the edge brush, I can thoroughly clean the wall gap dust.

9. Best shape design
I use a modular design structure, composed of seven parts, the xiaomi vacuum body is pure white, simple elegance. IMR process cover lets me has translucent texture, the whole body using high-strength impact ABS material, wear-resistant aging is not easy. The surrounding and the bottom of the matte treatment process to avoid leaving traces of collision wear. The xiaomi robot vacuum charger uses fire grade V0 plastic materials, effectively reducing the security risks.

10. Remote intelligent control
Open MiJia APP, you can view the cleaning status in real time, through the real-time map to check the xiaomi mi vacuum cleaning progress. In addition, you can arrange my cleaning tasks at any time, set the regular cleaning time every day before work, after returning home you can enjoy the happiness brought by the clean ground. When cleaning, there are quiet, standard, powerful three sweeping modes for you to choose.

I, Xiaomi Robot (part 1)


We have all heard that xiaomi has the most powerful and intelligent xiaomi mi robot vacuum cleaner in the industry, but how powerful is this xiaomi mi robot? Let’s go figure it out.

1. Automatically plan your home's sweeping path
I have a large number of sensors that synchronize the data information I get to my three "brains" processors in real time. They simulate how human brains think and work together to hand over the collected data to the SLAM algorithm, then build a map of the room and locate it in real time. Dividing the area into districts and planning the cleaning route according to the map will eventually form a clear path for cleaning and will carry out the task of cleaning the areas one by one.

xiaomi mi robot

2. Accurate detection of interior space
LDS high-precision laser ranging sensor will scan the room at 5 × 360 ° / sec for distance information. When laser light hits an obstacle, it forms a light spot in my eyes. At the same time, the image sensor of this xiaomi robot calculates the distance to the center of laser distance sensor based on the pixel number of the spot.

3. Three brains, independent thinking
Three independent processors mimic the way the human brain thinks and work together to capture and process sensor information simultaneously. By locating and calculating, the map is constructed in real time and the final cleaning path is planned, making the xiaomi mi robot sweep more efficient.

4. Comprehensive sensory, always aware of the complex environment
I cover with 12 types of mainstream sensors, no matter in any home environment, the 9.6cm height of the xiaomi vacuum fuselage can easily enter every corner of the home, both visible and invisible can be elegantly completely cleaned.

xiaomi mi robot

5. Do not worry, I will automatically recharge
When all the cleaning of the room is completed, I will automatically plan the shortest route to return to the charging stand. In the middle of the cleaning, if the xiaomi mi vacuum power is less than 20%, I will automatically return to the charging stand to charge. When the charge reaches 80%, I will return to the last place I did not finish cleaning to avoid the repetitive cleaning.
