20. Project development¶
For this week’s assignment, we looked at Project Development .This week looked at the following:
Learning outcomes:¶
-
Implement project plan.
-
Apply time management techniques.
-
Summarise and communicate the essence of your project development.
What tasks have been completed?¶
The following task have been completed:
-
Design of enclosure.
-
Design and creation or PCB boards.
-
Design and creation of 3D printed parts (, solar panel holder, stepper motor plate, enclosure brackets, PCB spacers, )
-
Code for PCB
What tasks remain?¶
The following task remain:
-
Creation of enclosure.
-
Testing of code for micro-controller.
-
Troubleshooting of final project
What has worked?¶
The following has worked:
-
3D printed plate on stepper motor .
-
3D printed solar panel holder on stepper motor plate.
-
Micro-controller PCB board.
-
3D printed brackets and spacers.
What hasn’t worked?¶
The following hasn’t worked:
-
Creation of enclosure due to issue with calibaration on machine resulting in inaccurate dimensions.
-
Code for controlling the stepper motor still need troubleshooting
What questions need to be resolved?¶
The following question need to be resolved:
- Why does the code show there is no error but the mirocontroller does not perform the required task? I beleieve it is an issue with with one of the libraries used.
What will happen when?¶
The followin will haappen :
-
Creation of enclosure.
-
Testing of code for micro-controller with modified code .
-
Assembley of project.
-
Final Testing .
What have you learned?¶
The following has been learn’t :
-
Time management is essential for the successfull completion of task.
-
Alaways have a backup board milled .
-
Documentation takes time , so utilise a strategy which allows you to document as you work.
-
Never give up because you are often one step away from the solution.
