Abstract

Not much people take in consideration that when you use whiteboard

erasers, that has coarse or granular texture, it tends to deteriorate the dry-

erase surface of whiteboards. This study aimed to determine what the effect of

the indigenous materials is when they are mixed. Erasers are available in every

color of the rainbow in a range of different fabrics. With asthma and other lung

problems that are widespread in many communities, being capable to prefer

the type of duster that your whiteboard eraser is suitable with can be very

useful for health reasons. The erasers are often made out of felt but there is

also microfiber choice, which expects to be somewhat more hypoallergenic.

There is also a range of holders usable for whiteboard erasers that can cause

having one within manageable admission of the supplies easy. While most

appear completely provided with their own holder, it is also likely to purchase

them individually magnetic holders are very popular, as this permit the user to

keep the eraser within manageable access on the whiteboard itself. The

researchers used a study that utilizes an experimental research method that is

a best suitable method to answer the desired issues of an eraser.

Title of the Study: Indigenous Whiteboard Eraser

Key Terms:

This research, entitled Indigenous Whiteboard Eraser, aims to create an

eraser that is more environmentally friendly and easier to handle and use than

any existing product in the market. The focus of this study is to make a good

replacement for an ordinary eraser that emits harmful dust particles.

 Introduction

In pretty much all cases, contexts and investments in ‘’technology” were

implied to be purposely forward-looking. Numerous of the population has come

from 'technical backgrounds' and ordinarily coordinate their look toward and

inquire most of their questions approximately, the innovation itself. Perhaps,

several hundred thousand individuals are utilizing whiteboards each day to

communicate, make and improve. This study will decrease the time conjointly

the exertion. This paper speaks to the plan and development of the whiteboard

cleaner. The part of innovation within the process of learning can offer critical

commitments to assist meet the expanding needs of students.

Many people in a prodigious range of industries make use of whiteboard

erasers every day. This study aimed to determine what the effect of the

indigenous materials is when they are mixed. However, these days as the days

passed by a lot of schools are now using whiteboard instead of an ordinary

blackboard. They are using a panel with a shiny, smooth surface that is usually

white known as Whiteboard. Erasing while having a discussion is such a waste

of time that had been playing a big important role in a discussion such as

saying. The pulverize gets from the chalk piece while erasing the board causes

a failure to the respiratory organ when breathed by a human. Asthma,

coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath are some of the diseases that are

caused by the dust of chalk. With asthma and other lung problems that are

widespread in many communities, being capable to prefer the type of duster

that your whiteboard eraser suitable for can be very useful for health reasons.
 Subsequently, a few kinds of research have intrigued in making such a

device that can be productive enough to eradicate the board without human

interaction and talking about a lesson. Manually cleaning the board is also an

issue in Philippines when it comes in teaching, the Philippines encompasses a

destitute quality and lacking in terms of devices and sources in instructing

according to Philippine Human Improvement Report, so the research can be

utilizing within the classrooms to maintain a strategic distance from the over

confronted issues and researchers needs to modernized facilities particularly in

public school.

This study aimed to design products that can clean the whiteboard in

automatically process which is made from materials that are naturally and

locally found in a specific place. The product is known as Indigenous

Whiteboard Eraser. This tool is designed for the appearance of the usual

whiteboard eraser product that does not require any high skilled labor to

operate. The product is designed independently to satisfy the needs of users

with low-cost but using lasting and strong materials. With the utilization of this

tool, it can save time and energy while the advancement of learning takes

place. The product uses an easy to understand concept and plan which are

convenient for users and has an engine mounted thereupon that is

mechanically interrelated to a drive assembly for moving the eraser in an

erasing action. This product is environmentally friendly which does not use

ingredients that are harmful to consumers and does not cause pollution to the

environment. This product is suitable to help educators to save time, energy

and enhance the quality of teaching and learning.

 Methodology

Research Design

The study utilizes an experimental research method since it is a suitable

method to utilize to answer the desired issues and if the cassava pith is an

effective material in making an eraser. This study aimed to determine what the

effect of the materials is when they are mixed, how effective cassava pith is in

erasing the whiteboard.

Collection of Data

A. Material

Cassava Pith. The edible portion of the cassava root is the central pith
 Box. It describes a diversity of containers and receptacles for durable

use as storage, or momentary use, frequently for transferring contents. Delicate

or conservation boxes may be opened by pulling, raising, sliding or removal of

the lid, which may be hinged and/or secured by a catch, clasp, or lock.

MAX BOND

ALL in
ONE

GLUE

Glue. Max Bond ALL IN ONE GLUE is a high quality, high solids water-

based adhesive that can bond to most materials including paper, wood, plastic,

glass, fabric, leather, vinyl, styrene/foam, cardboard, concrete, metal, gypsum

board, MDF board, etc. it is best for projects that require strong bonding

strength on a wide range of supporting materials.

Arduino. It is a piece of software and consists of both a physical

programmable circuit board also known as a microcontroller and a, or IDE

(Integrated Development Environment) that proceed on your computer, used

to write and upload data processor code to the external board.

USB Cable. Use it to connect Arduino Uno, Arduino Mega 2560, Arduino

101 or any board with the USB female A port of your computer.
Wires. You can use jumper wires to modify a circuit or to diagnose problems

in a circuit.

Bluetooth Module. It mainly works by the utilization of short-range

wirelessly transmitting technology to combine two devices.

 Motor Driver. It is connected to a power source such as a battery pack

or power supply, and control circuitry in the form of analog or digital input

signals.

B. Procedure

The following are the procedures for the study:

Step 1. You need to get the Cassava Pith in the stem of cassava and

then cut it into smaller pieces.

Step 2. Measure the length of the box.
 Step 3. Put some glue in the measured part.

Step 4. Pour the cassava pith where the glued area is placed in the box.
Step 5. Fill in all the cassava pith until all the spaces in the box are filled in.

Step 6. Use a blow dryer to dry the glue that was placed in the cassava pith.
 Step 7. And then, add again some glue so that the surface is not that

rough. And blow dry it again.

Step 8. Add another layer for it to be thicker.

 Step 9. Connect Arduino with laptops or PC. And then find some code

that is suitable for the direction of your choice for the eraser.

Step 10. Click the tools in Arduino software. Ensure board are Arduino

Uno and port where Arduino is linked and then upload the program.

Step 11. Take Bluetooth module and then bond two female to female

score string at +5v and GND. Connect Bluetooth's +5v and GND with servo's
+ and - on the engine protection Take Bluetooth module. Connect RX of

arduino to TX of Bluetooth module. Connect TX of arduino to RX of Bluetooth

module.

Step 12. Power the Arduino and Motors. Connect the battery to

the motor driver and then solder a toggle switch to the red lead from the 9V

battery connector. Connect the black lead from the battery connector to one of

the Arduino's ground pins and connect the lead from the toggle switch to

Arduino's Vin pin. Snap a battery to the connector.

 Step 13. Attached all the materials inside the box including the

magnet and dc motors for the movement, and also the Bluetooth module,

Arduino, wires. After this, try to pair it with your phone just by turning on

your Bluetooth and pair it with the model/name of your Bluetooth module.

Once it paired open play store. Search for Arduino Bluetooth RC car or any

app that can be the controller for your eraser. Download the app and open it.

Click on the setting icon. Red Light turns into green it means it connected.

and your Indigenous Whiteboard material is all done.
