What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?

Tasks Completed

  1. I completed designing and milling my final project board with microcontroller as ATTINY1614.
  2. I've designed the housing/head of the Shoo Boar and also the tripod using Fusion 360.
  3. Programmed the LDR with the LED Strips.
  4. Laser Cutting the head and CNC milling the Tripod done!
  5. 3D printed the casing of the LED lights.
  6. Soldered and Tested the Final Board.

Tasks Remain

  1. I've to make the speaker work with the PIR sensor!!!
  2. Designing and 3D printing the cases of the components.
  3. Arranging the components in the Housing and wiring.
  4. Have to compile both the codes and try to run it together
  5. Beautification like painting and Adding parts to the Head of the Shooo Boar.

What's working? What's not?

Working

  1. The Board works properly.
  2. LED Strips are working well with LDR.
  3. Laser cut and CNC milling parts came out well
  4. PIR sensor working well too.

Not Working

  • The mp3 module is not working to make noise out of the speaker.

    • What questions needs to be resolved?

    1. Need to make the mini Dfplayer which I got from Rico to work with the Speaker so that I can play mp3/wav sounds from the speaker.
    2. If time permits I've to design/ mill a new board since the existing one is not able to retain the codes.

    What will happen when?

  • Now, to complete the task on time, I'll have to make a schedule henceforth which will make my working on the Final project more efficient.

    What have you learnt?

    Fab Academy has been a turning point in my life. I've never been interested to learn more before joining Fab Academy. Every week was new and refreshing, which made it even more exciting.
