Week 21
Complete your final project, tracking your progress:
What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?
What questions need to be resolved?

The last week. A monitor of the last status before delivering the Video and Slide for the final presentation. My presentation is on Wednesday 13 June. The first day of presentations !
I completed the basic task of the whole thing I want to develop in the future. Since I am integrated most of the assignments into the project, I have the structure which is triplay cut in the CNC router. I have collected most of the material. I gave my list to the tutor and the owner of the LAB, who´s also my partner in the Academy and they gave me the materials in a couple of days after. In resume, I have the design completed I just need to build it up, joint everything together and program improving and adapting what I have down in the assignments (sometimes completing the assignment with the final project)
So far have has worked:
· The structure
o Routing
o The wood joint Some were difficult, but with sand paper, the dremel and the rubber hammer I solved it
· Collecting materials ( like water plastic bottles of 5lt)
· Buying the plants (spinach)
So far hasn´t worked:
· Programming to open and close the solenoid valve by the orders of the measurements of the sensors
· The hydraulics are leaking because I have to solve the joint of the PVC tubes and the plastic bottles.
· How much water I can collect?
· How much water certain plant like spinach needs?
· How much food can it produces
· How can I replicate this in the future
· How to feed the energy from the solar tracker?

I learned mostly the essence behind most of products. I mean, they have circuits, boards, sensors, actuators, cases, materials, etc.
But the thing I didn´t have idea was about designing and producing PCB´s !!!
