Week 19. Project Development

Complete your final project tracking your progress.

what tasks have been completed?

Completed Tasks: - Electronics Design has been created using KiCad and final Board Production is completed using Roland. - Enclosure for PCB is designed and manufactured. - Completed final Programming for integrated components in Arduino IDE. - Successfully tested all components together.

what tasks remain?

Remaining Tasks:

  • Vinyl Sticker Cutting for aesthetic enhancement.
  • To complete assembly and secure all parts in the enclosure.

what has worked? what hasn’t?

Successes and Challenges:

  • Integrated testing with the Blynk App worked well.
  • Occasionally facing errors connecting to the Blynk server.

what questions need to be resolved?

  • Need to think about the script for the final project video.
  • How to make the system visually appealing and attractive to customers for potential sales.

what will happen when?

Upcoming Tentative Schedule:

  • May 25: Rico-san arrives.
  • May 26: Receive feedback from Rico-san on the current state of the project.
  • May 27: Improve package design based on feedback.
  • May 28: Simplify the assembly process of electronics into the enclosure.
  • May 29: Script development for the final project presentation.
  • May 30: Final assembly and installation of the system.
  • May 31: Video shooting and initial compilation.
  • June 1-2: Prepare the final video and request for feedback from Rico san and Intructor.
  • June 3-4: Prepare final project slides and final project documentation, then upload everything.
  • June 5: Presentation day 😅 and remember to take deep breaths and stay calm! 😊

what have you learned?

Lessons Learned:

  • Achieving the right dimensions for electronic components to fit perfectly into the enclosure is challenging and often requires multiple attempts.
  • Learning to program with the Arduino IDE has been a major achievement, especially given my background in Automobile Engineering.
  • Through the Fab Academy, I’ve acquired diverse skills, including electronic design, production, and embedded programming, which I aimed to achieve.
  • Always remember to credit AI, even if it is a one-sentence idea.
