Final Project requirements

Assignments:

Individual assignment:

Document a final project masterpiece that integrates the range of units covered, answering:

Well… For my Final Project I did a device that can read printed cards with magnets embedded in the back sector and identify the type of card. I could make it with a few practices developed inside the assignments that we had every week. For example, the Output and Input, also the 3D Print of the cards and the Computer cutting (laser cut) of the device shell.

🛠What task have been completed?

Most of them (not to say all of them). The tasks I needed to complete to finish my project, I did. That is, regarding Output and Input, as well as 3D printing and Laser Cutting jobs were solved.

🛠What did you design?

What I designed was a braille chip reader, these chips had built-in neodymium magnets, and along with the use of hall sensors, the device could read those chips.

🛠What task remain?

I solved most of them (not to say all) by making hits and millions of mistakes hahaa. The tasks I needed to have completed to finish my project, I did them, the related Output and Input, as well as 3D printing and Laser Cutting jobs were solved. Now that I'm thinking, maybe the molding and casting goal related to my project wasn't achieved, but meh, life keeps going and I did my best, I guess.

🛠What materials and components were used?

Materials used were multilaminated wood, 3D printing (PLA), Electronic components (PCB boards, MP3 module, Speaker, sensors)

🛠Where did they come from?

The materials were obtained from the FAB LAB where I was conducting the class and the MP3 module was purchased from an electronics store in my country.

🛠What worked?

I think I was able to develop almost all components of the product, except the mp3 module that was purchased already assembled

🛠What parts and systems were made?

I think I was able to develop almost all components of the product, except the mp3 module that was purchased already assembled

🛠What worked? What didn’t?

✖ Some things that didn't go as I wanted were things related to electronics, I changed too many times the mechanisms chosen to develop reading and I didn't really get to try them. It was just a question of ̈which is the simplest? ̈ things that ultimately hurt me by not having enough time. As a tip: do not delay task deliveries to get to the Final Project

✔ What if it came out the way I wanted it to be about 3D printing, which were the chips and what is laser cutting, the housing of the device.

🛠What have you learned?

I can say that thanks to the Academy, thanks to the practices done, thanks to the mistakes (many many) I was able to learn a little bit about electronics and what that involves, the practices done with the boards made for the different tasks and the way in which these types of projects should be developed. Something invaluable is the support received from the instructors and companions (The marmots).
