Development of Project Plan

At this time(just few days for the Final Presentation), I am far behind on my Project developement. I have been playing with my final ATtiny 44 on driving the motors and trying a few different programs, together with finishing of these Week Assignment Documentation.

As you may have already seen from my Final Project Page, my project is making a Bluetooth controlled DC motor Car which might have an IR sensor in it.

So Far, What I have Done !

1. I have designed and milled the board for my final project

2. I have made a mobile application in MIT app inventor for driving the motors through bluetooth interfacing.

3. I have designed the base of my car(hoping I wont change it in coming days, I am so unpredictable to myself), then two wheels, and the motor holder that will be attached to base to hold the motors.

4. I have 3d printed two wheels i designed but it might probably useless, as i am looking for much smaller and thicker ones.

5. I have 3d printed a motor holder, (as a test print ) for one of the DC motor.

6. I have laser cut the base with cardboard paper for testing.

What are my Plans ?

I believe that I am still far behind 90% on my Mechanical Design part, I have to build a Chassis for my car for the starters. And also the wheels should be 3d printed and other mechanical parts

For the Electronics part, I have to make the motors work with interfacing part, and also write the program to control motors and IR sensor simultaneously.

So my Plan is listed as below

1. First I will finish all the Designing parts left to do,

2. Then I will 3D print and Laser Cut all those designed parts

That might include the Base of the Car, covering for the electronics stuff, top and side covers of car, four wheels, two motor holders. 3. So after making a physical assembly of these parts, I will look at the programming side

Oh God I am so Late !

I am equally petrified and excited,
but I am confident that I will complete this


4. I am planning to make the Car with both bluetooth control to drive with its own control to move away from obstacles using IR sensor

5. I have left posters and other stuff for the last

Licensing

After all these days and weeks learning new things and attaining skills that are so cool, and especially going to electronics and programming subjects which I never thought I could ever be able to.

I am grateful to each and all behind this venture, specially to Neil Gershenfeld for his lectures and ideas.

After each week I started recognising how small is my knowledge and our oppurtunity to learn is vast.
Eventhough i am not be the brightest student that learned in the academy, the skills I learned here would be my strongest abilities in ythe coming days

Intellectual Property

As its definition Intellectual Property is the intangible property that is the result of creativity, such as patents, copyrights, etc.

Patents

A patent is a form of right granted by the government to an inventor, giving the owner the right to exclude others from making, using, selling, offering to sell, and importing an invention for a limited period of time, in exchange for the public disclosure of the invention.

Open Source License

As in Wikipedia

An open-source license is a type of license for computer software and other products
that allows the source code, blueprint or design to be used, modified and/or shared under
defined terms and conditions. This allows end users and commercial companies to review and
modify the source code, blueprint or design for their own customization, curiosity or
troubleshooting needs. Open-source licensed software is mostly available free of charge,
though this does not necessarily have to be the case. Licenses which only permit
non-commercial redistribution or modification of the source code for personal use only are
generally not considered as open-source licenses. However, open-source licenses may have
some restrictions, particularly regarding the expression of respect to the origin of software,
such as a requirement to preserve the name of the authors and a copyright statement within
the code, or a requirement to redistribute the licensed software only under the same license.

There are a few open source license givers like GNU General Public License , MIT License , Creative Commons etc.
