This week there was no assignment but ...... we are supposed to work on our final project...... You may read about my Final Project Wi-Ro, From this LINK These are few questions we need to answer for this week
What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain ?
These are the tasks which have been completed. 1. IR remote has been hacked and tested its codes.
2. Mounting of the circuit within the remote has been done.
3. Mesh network has been realized and tested.
4. 3D frame for the screen which has to placed over the main Panel has been made and printed.
5. PCB has been designed and printed.
6. Electrical panel are done.
7. Laser cutting for electrical panel along with all the mounting has been done.
8. Material Procurement has been done.
9. Individual programs for all the input and output devices in the project have been tested.
These are the tasks which still need to be done. 1. Soldering of the components on the PCB.
2. Making the main code for the system.
3. Making the complete unit.
4. Testing the whole system
5. Documenting, Video, and Presentation.
What has worked and what hasn't ?
Well, there as this remote which I was expecting to hack but I was unable to do that..... What I tired was I made the Ground of that remote control common with the Arduino and took its signal wire and tried to read the pulses...... but on every click there was some random value ...... then I tried to lookout for the IC it was using but I was unable to find the IC number because the EVIL remote makers sanded the IC Number from the IC..... Then I even tried to Reverse Engineer the Matrix of the remote ..... but in that case the I/O pins were increasing ..... So I decided to try with a different remote...... I bought a new MICROMAX remote and the tried external coupling of the IR signals and it worked ......
Apart from this till now things have worked ..... Furthur lets see.... whats gonna work .....
Details about the above can be read on my main final project documentation page (LINK, Need to get this up after documentation)
What questions need to be resolved ?
As far as the final project is concerned there are no questions which need to be resolved at his point of time. There may be question over time ....
What will happen when
Due to some delay in the procurement I was unable to carry forward my project work last week...... but now all the procurement has been done and I am looking forward to finish the project within this week .... I have my presentation on 18th June 2018.
What have you learnt
Throughout the journey of FABACADEMY..... I have learnt a lot of things ....... Everyday at the lab comes with a new lesson ..... Well, I can not explain all the skills I have learnt .... rather I'll say .....
"This Journey has given wings to my Imagination"
and I'll demostrate my learnings in my project
Just to summarize the topics (this weeks page demands):
1. Project Management
2. 3D designing and printing
3. Computer controlled cutting and machining
4. Electronics desiging and production
5. Embedded programming and interfacing
6. Etc
