The prompt
## CORRECTED PRODUCT DESCRIPTION SolarShade is an automated photovoltaic window-blind system that uses mango-peel-sensitized dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) glass as its actual horizontal blind slats. IMPORTANT: The DSSC glass IS the solar panel. Each individual glass slat functions as a photovoltaic element that captures sunlight and converts it into electrical energy. Do not design an ordinary window blind with an additional solar panel attached to its upper section. The photovoltaic DSSC glass slats must be the main and most noticeable feature of the product. The upper housing is exclusively for the mechanical and electronic assembly, including the Arduino Uno, MG996R servo motor, and other necessary control components. LDR light sensors detect sunlight intensity, allowing the Arduino Uno to control the servo motor and adjust the angles of the DSSC glass slats through a mechanical linkage. ## CORRECTED REQUIRED DRAWINGS All five views must consistently represent the same photovoltaic blind design. **FRONT VIEW** Show eight horizontal DSSC glass photovoltaic slats. Each slat must visibly appear as a glass component integrated into the blind structure. Do not place a separate solar panel above the blinds. **TOP VIEW** Show the upper housing and the arrangement of the blind frame. The upper housing must contain the mechanical assembly, not an additional photovoltaic panel. **SIDE VIEW** Show the individual DSSC glass slats, their tilt positions, the supporting frame, and the servo-driven adjustment mechanism. **BOTTOM VIEW** Show the underside of the photovoltaic glass blind assembly, including the supporting structure, lower frame, and bottom support bar. **INTERNAL VIEW** Show a cutaway of the upper housing and blind assembly. Illustrate the Arduino Uno, MG996R servo motor, mechanical linkage, LDR sensors, and electrical connections from the individual DSSC glass slats. Show how the glass slats are mechanically supported and connected for electrical energy collection. ## CORRECTED MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS | Component | Material | |---|---| | Photovoltaic blind slats | Mango-peel-sensitized DSSC conductive glass | | Main supporting frame | 3 mm plywood | | Upper housing | 3 mm plywood | | Motor bracket | 3 mm acrylic | | Internal mounting plate | 3 mm plywood | | Slat rotation rod | 3 mm wooden dowel | | Lower support bar | Lightweight PVC or plywood | ## STRICT DESIGN RESTRICTION There must be NO separate solar panel mounted on top of the blind, above the upper housing, or elsewhere on the frame. The DSSC glass horizontal slats themselves must serve as the photovoltaic energy-generating components. Preserve this design throughout all five technical views.
