My planning was at least meet the requirements to final projects
I’ve almost finished the assignments, missing now only the evaluation updates and followup questions.
I finish all the schedule in time and present to Neil in 2021/06/09. And everything was fine, but some alignment problem and Neil said to me in final presentation your project alignment is not set but it is the enough project that means it is a large project for me.
What has worked? what hasn't?
The electronic part works as expected because I have prior knowledge of coding circuit design and I also work in the electronic field and have competed in several robotics competitions and project exhibitions. The only problem is the mechanical structure. I have made every effort to perfect the framework of my final project. However, while I was unable to improve my mechanical structure, I did learn more about mechanical parts as a result of my work.
What questions need to be resolved?
How to keep the scissor of the desk stable in chipboard wood?
How do you make a power-efficient scissor desk?
How can a smart desk be made at a low cost?
what will happen when?
what have you learned?
I have learned a lot from this project theoretically and practically as well being an electronic engineer I had a lack of experience and practice in the field of designing and software simulations I have learned about designing mechanical structures and their measurements. 3D technology has always inspired me as this is a more practical and professional approach to any project designing. The most amazing tool and technology I used and learned was 3d printer I came to know that small parts can be made through 3d printer more precisely as compared to the lathe machine. I discovered a lot about CNC technology from 3d printers to PCB milling machines I used to make PCBs by iron press method but realizing that CNC milling PCB is more sort of industrial way and accurate.
In summary, I have learned a lot about other fields that were necessary to support my field of electronics to design any project and prototypes. I am thankful for this program and its all coordinators for their support and amazing teaching abilities.
