Finally we have a final project, where everything comes together. designing, solve a real problem, electronics, coding, producing and presenting.

This week is all about learning how to connect output devices to a microcontroller. From LED's, charlieplexing, screens (LCD/OLED/E-Ink) and different motors. Last part about artificial muscles was very interesting.

Input, get to know sensors and how to use them in your projects. Play around with sensors in the group and design and produce a board with which you can measure something.

This week we will design and build a machine with a group. I am in the team with Philip, Paula and Erwin and we have a good idea with a machine that will make Fabacademy-live a little more pleasant

Week 6 is about designing circuitboards and learning the workflow in KiCAD or Fusion360-Eagle for that. In order to do so, some basic understanding of electronics is part of this week. If everything goes well I have a working Hello world board at the end of the week

This week the workflow for milling and soldering a circuitboard is explored. we learn how to use the small cnc-milling machine and with that mill a circuitboard. And we'll collect all the parts and solder them to the board. after that it is time to test and debug
