Introduction

 

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 !

 

Complete your final project, tracking your progress:

 

What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?

 

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)

 

 

What has worked? what hasn't?

 

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.

 

What questions need to be resolved?

 

·         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?

 

What will happen when?

 

Tuesday                  Arduino IDE

Wednesday           Board

Thursday                Cube for plants

Friday                      Cube for water recollection

Saturday                 Inverted Pyramid for water recollection

Sunday                    Assembling

Monday                   Connecting

Tuesday                  Make Video and Slide

What have you learned?

 

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 !!!
