Week 20

Project Development

MOOD OF THE WEEK



Last straight line (as we say in french)... and a lot of anxiety ^^' I hope I will be able to finish on time for next week.

We have a day less this week because the university is closed, so less time with the machines and to move on with the final project. I'll try and keep up with the documentation meanwhile, but still it is really stressfull.

Let's do this week's documentation and it will help me see what's coming next and what I have left to do !

Han Solo Assignment

How is my project going ?

It's moving forward, that's for sure, but maybe not enough for me for what I've seen. I have to make myself a plan for this last week of work so I won't be eaten alive by anxiety ^^'

Here are the questions I have to answer for this week :

  • What is the deadline, how much time do I have left ?
    The dealine is monday 17th of june, which means I have a bit less than 1 week to finish everything (video included)

  • What tasks have been completed and what tasks do I have left ?
    What has been completed : I did my first prototype for two pages, my first charlieplexing circuit and I'm up to date to the documentation of my final project.
    What do I have left to do : I need to laser cut the final page 1, design and laser cut page 3, redo my charlieplexing circuit that doesn't work and print a 3D support so the books can stay stand up. I also have to do my video.

  • How will I complete the remaining tasks in time ?
    I truely hope I'll be able to work in the fablab after hours, otherwise it's gonna be really difficult ! But I'll devide each task remaining by day and see what's left every night when I leave the lab, so I know what I have to do the next day.

  • what has worked?
    What has worked is the book itself, the pages are coming out just fine and the updates I've made are working pretty well.

  • what hasn't worked?
    What hasn't worked yet is my charlieplexing circuit. Leo said he would help me if I need it.

  • what questions still need to be resolved?
    I don't have that many questions left to solve, just mainly to make everything work together ^^

  • what have you learned?
    I've learned a lot about Charlieplexing, which I only knew mostly the logic of it but never applied it. It was really useful making that tutorial for the basics.
