Assignment: Complete your final project, tracking your progress:

Question:

• What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?


• What has worked? what hasn't?


• What questions need to be resolved?


• What will happen when?


• What have you learned?

I have come quite along with this project and i am almost done.

What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?

Tasks Completed

• Final laser cutted model is ready
• Milling and fabrication of MOSFET modules
• Control board is ready
• CNC milled the water tank
• 3d Printed the solenoid stand

Tasks Remaining

• 3d printing of water distributor
• Assembly

What has worked what hasn't?

• Had to scale water tank
• 3d printed water distributor but it leaked, have to print it again with higher infill density this time

What questions need to be resolved?

• Do i need diffused front covers rather than transparent?
• Should i operate both solenoids with one pwm pin or i need two separate pins?

What will happen when?

• I need to mill the water tank with scaled dimension by tomorrow afternoon.
• Also i should 3d print water distributor with better infill density and test it too by tonight
• I must integrate whole system by tomorrow night

What have you learned?

This final project has been an great opportunity of learning. The project integrates diverse techinques. I have had some basic experience of electronics circuits. However most of my projects are just PCBs with dangling cables and makeshift packaging. Through this project I went a step further and designed for variety of machines includiing laser cutter, shopbot, srm20, 3d printer etc. With this project the best thing i have learned is to learn from mistakes and look for the improvement always. Also with this project i have earned some know-how about what tools can be used and how much do they cost for a particular application.

Documentation during development

This is one of the most important take aways for me from this course. During this course I have come to understand how a project should be documented and including source files, procedures followed and results obtained.

I can honestly say If I had better comprehension of the process, several of my reports could been much better.

Spiral development

As from the lecture of Prof. Niel I understand that based on this project it is possible for me upscale my ideas and try different design techniques for effective outcomes.
