20. Project development¶
The year has been wonderfull, with lots of opportunities and one of them of course fab academy and the inauguration of Jigme Namgyal Wangchuck Super FabLab by His Royal Highness Prince Jigme Namgyal Wangchuck.
Assignment¶
Complete your final project, tracking your progress:
- what tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?
- what’s working? what’s not?
- what questions need to be resolved?
- what will happen when?
- what have you learned?
Q&A.¶
1. What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?¶
Task Completed : - Completed the designing and manufacturing of the crawlers body and mechanical limbs. - Designed and tested the final project boards for the crawler and the joystick. - Connected the board to a WiFi network. - Tesed the movement of the crawler. - Forward. - Backward. - Turns. - Completed making the presentation video and silde.
Task to be completed : - Modify the casing design and laser cut on a plywood. - Need to complete the final Integration of the project. - Final project codes for each micro controllor (Joystick and crawler).
2. What’s working? what’s not?¶
Whats is working?
- My crawler’s movement and turns are all good.
- The crawler can take load to the power bank and casing.
- The boards are working and can connect to the network.
What is not working?
- I tried to design the casing of the crawler but there were some design issue in the casing supports and hence the laser cut output didn’t fit on my crawler.
- I am getting output from the joystick but it is showing some weird variation on the output when the joystick is moved.
- When I tried to integrate the movements and networking together, there are some delays.
3. What questions need to be resolved?¶
- I have to redesign the casing for the crawler and make sure that the design can be made from the process of laser cutting.
- Need to work on the programming and figure out the issue to make the response between the joystick and crawler is fast enough.
- Redesign the layout of my final board and print it again.
4. What will happen when?¶
Need to complete final code for the project as soon as possible and then work on the packaging of the project.
5. What have you learned?¶
Fabacademy was the one destined to make a great deal of improvement in the way i used to work on a project. And that is mainataining documentation of works, this ways we can easily track down the way we had approached the results. Before I only work and get messed up with files and initial process. Apart from that looking forward to learn a lot about the machines and the process.
Thank You!
