Assignment One
Git, HTML, and Project Planning
This week I set up gitlab, created this site, and did some basic project planning for my final project. Assignment instructions can be found here.
Assignment Two
CAD IN 2D & 3D, FILE COMPRESSION
Learning to 3D model using CAD - I played around with several software options, but ultimately modeled a first mockup of my final project with Rhino 8. Also made and compressed some videos :)
Assignment Three
Computer Controlled Cutting
Created a latern with interchangeable panels. Made with paremetric design in Rhino 8 with Grasshopper.
Assignment Four
Electronics Production
Created a printed circuit board (PCB) with a milling machine. Stuffed and soldered the board with LEDs, resistors, etc. Programmed board.
Assignment Five
3D Scanning & Printing
Created a Voronoi sphere with internal "rattle" using a 3D SLA resin printer. 3D scanned some hands. Tried out the 3D printers at the Fab Lab in Barcelona.
Assignment Six
Embedded Programming
This week we learned how computers are made and programmed. I programmed two microcontrollers, Quentorres and Barduino.
Assignment Seven
Computer Controlled Machining
This week we learned to mill with CNC machines. I designed and milled a cylindrical stool. I created a pattern in plywood allowing it to bend and form sides of cylinder.
Assignment Eight
Electronics Design
This week I designed my own development board.
Assignment Nine
Output Devices
This week I programmed my dev board to blink a haptic motor.
Assignment Ten
Machine Design
This week we worked in a group to create a pottery wheel combining design skills learned across course weeks.
Assignment Eleven
Input Devices
This week I tested a laser time of flight (ToF) distance sensor.
Assignment Twelve
Molding & Casting
This week I molded and casted a top to the side table I built in CNC week.
Assignment Thirteen
Networking & Communication
This week I programmed two boards to talk to communicate with each other over Wifi.
Assignment Fourteen
Interface & Application Programming
This week I programmed a graphic user interface to interact with a haptic motor attached to my development board.
Assignment Fifteen
Wild Card & Digital Embroidery
This week I created digital embroideries and explored miscellaneous digital fabrication techniques.
Assignment Sixteen
System Integration
This week I created a system integration plan for my final project.
Assignment Seventeen
Applications & Implications
This week I focused on scope and defining remaining work for my final project.
Assignment Eighteen
Invention, Intellectual Property & Income
This week I learned about IP and came up with a project dissemmination plan.
Final Project Development
Plan & Execution
This page documents my final project plan and key learnings.
