During the Process
What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?
At the start of the week, I already had done almost all the tasks required for the development of my final project.
I had already completed:
- Flower Pot 3D design + Production.
- Flower Stands for 3D design + Production.
- Electronics Design + Production
- Code with Arduino.
I still had to work on:
- Make code work with my Hello World PCB.
- Packaging.
What has worked? what hasn’t?
Everything worked fine. I did not had much troubles when fabricating the components, designing the PCB board, milling it, or coding the board.
What questions need to be resolved?
At this time of the project, I just needed to solve what the packaging would look like.
I decided to make it using the laser cutting machine, designing with Illustrator, and using the wood board as material to avoid the use of not sustainable materials like plastic.
What have you learned?
I feel that this past month and a half I learned a lot about electronics. Especially because of the design and manufacturing of my hello world board. I deeply understood how to design, locate the components and code the board.
