INPUT

In this assignment I planned and sketched a potential project.

As you see in my bio with the help of my nephew Gaston (4 years old), we (Benito Juarez and me) have created a great methodology to transfer digital modeling and 3D printing skills to children through a dynamic and playful environment.

That experiencie was my input to think of about my project.

LESSON >> video recording - web 1 - web 2

PROCESS

We have several meetings with Gaston to think what project will be the best for us.

All days, when he woke, he always said me: "Tio Geny (uncle Geny)" what will we build today?. So one day he said me: "Uncle Geny what about if we build a bobot (robot, remember he had only 4 years old)", so our final project was born.

That was the idea but in the midle part of my Academy I changed my mind and my final project was other.

Gaston and me thought to transform an old car in a spaceship or a powerful car, a FANTASTIC CAR.

OUTPUT







The original project was NEVO | THE ROBOT, a friend who will help to Gaston to understand more about Digital Fabrication World.

Frequently NEVO will give to Gaston new missions to innovate his world, as create and fabricate a super heroe or program new movements to do in a room.

I will build this robot in the near future.











After several weeks I changed my original idea and my FINAL PROJECT was NEVO | THE FANTASTIC CAR a car for kids that has some inputs as: proximity, light and sound and outputs as: servomotor, sound and lights and can interact with children.

>>> PROPOSAL This project is focused on showing children the power and magic of digital fabrication.

It was a dream of my nephew Gaston, he has only 4 years old and some day he said me: “Tio Geny (uncle Geny) what about if we build a spaceship or a car?”.

>>> MANUFACTURING I was thinking to use:

* 15mm plywood
* 6mm clear acrylic
* INPUT: proximity sensor
* OUTPUT: rgb leds

>>> PLANNING

>>> UPLOADING WEB To upload our web to internet we used a repository server named MERCURIAL a cross-platform, distributed revision control tool for software developers.

Working with Mercurial:
To work with Mercurial I needed to open Terminal in Ubuntu and used these commands:

To get all changes from the MIT repository into your repository:

hg pull


To add new files
hg add


To commit changes
hg commit -m 'MESSAGE'


To push files to server - Never force push! 
hg push


And this is the final code of my testing:
            student@FABLAB:~$ cd Desktop/
            student@FABLAB:~/Desktop$ cd Archive/
            student@FABLAB:~/Desktop/Archive$ hg pull
            pulling from ssh://hg@fabacademy.org/academy.2015/Web/sa
            searching for changes
            adding changesets
            adding manifests
            adding file changes
            added 7 changesets with 276 changes to 232 files
            231 files updated, 0 files merged, 4 files removed, 0 files unresolved
            (run 'hg update' to get a working copy)
            student@FABLAB:~/Desktop/Archive$ hg update 
            0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
            student@FABLAB:~/Desktop/Archive$ hg addremove 
            adding students/sanchez.henry/test_image.png
            student@FABLAB:~/Desktop/Archive$ hg commit -m "testing"
            student@FABLAB:~/Desktop/Archive$ hg push
            pushing to ssh://hg@fabacademy.org/academy.2015/Web/sa
            searching for changes
            remote: adding changesets
            remote: adding manifests
            remote: adding file changes
            remote: added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files
