20. Project development¶
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?
What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?¶
Tasks completed.¶
- I have completed the designed and milling of board i.e ESP32 microcontroller board for project it is completed.
- Created a thingspeak IOT plateform account and connected it with the wifi.
- Then I have completed the CAD modelling and the structure of the final project using Fusion360 software.
- CNC cutting of board for the greenhouse structure.
- I have finished assembling the structure of the greenhouse.
- I have finished the programming and test ran all the outputs.
- I have finished all the circuit connection and tested the controls with relay.
- I have designed the logo for the project.
What tasks remained?¶
-
The microcontroller of the humidifier got burned while I was trying to reprogramme the already programmed humidifier. For that I have to make afountain to create mist to maintain the humidity inside greenhouse.
-
I have to design a case for the microcontroller and relay switch and print them using 3D printer.
- I have to design a box and laser cut to keep all powersupply microcontroller board and fix it outside the structure.
- I have to vinyl cut the logo for the project
- I have to wrape the greenhouse structure with polyethylene plastic.
What’s working? what’s not?¶
Working - Esp32 microcontroller board worked properly. - Programming worked well with all inputs and outputs. - Thingspeak read all my data sent by the sensor well - CNC cutting parts came out well - Oled is displaying the output reading well.
Not working¶
- Humidifier didn’t work well and I have to make a fountain and test whether it is maintaing the humidity inside greenhouse.
- Other than the humidifier everything worked successfully.
What questions need to be resolved?¶
- If possible I have to fix the microcontroller of the humidifier, otherwise I have to make use of the DC pump.
What will happen when?¶
Almost everything happened as per the plan till date. Now for these two weeks these are my plans: - FIRST WEEK: Fountain Making, Logo Printing, Wrapping the greenhouse with plastics, Microcontroller case designing and printing, Distribution board desining and printing. - SECOND WEEK: Do all th wiring inside the greenhouse, rerun the code once and check all the outputs whether thay are functioning well or not. Make one minute video presentation and a poster.
- 13th June: Present to Fabacademy community. If there are any recommendations make th changes and push everything to the website before 29/06/2022.
What have you learned?¶
I have never thought that learning something new could be that exciting and joyful.But Fabacademy taught me learning something new can actually be a joyous and powerful thing and it can really change how one can see the world.
Everything I have learnt starting from basics to this far, is all beacuse of fabacademy.
If I note down few things that I learnt while doing this project are: - I have understood designing PCB using bothe EAGLE and KICAD, milling and stuffing of ESP32 Microcontroller Board using SRM-20 machine. - I have learnt how to program microcontrollers with arduino IDE. - I have learnt how to do CAD desingn for 3D printer, shopbot and laser cutter. - I have learnt abot different sensors and interfacing. - I have learnt the importance of documentation and how to keep track of what we do in aday. - I have learnt Communication and interfacing of esp boards. - I have learnt how use IOT plateform to aggregate, visualize, and analyze data.
