18. Project development¶
This week I worked on defining my final project idea and started to getting used to the documentation process.
what tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?
- Completed: The final presentation is finished. The basic funtions of people fall detection is working.
- Completed: The rotaration mecahincal design is finished. I finnal choose a better way to accompiash the rotayation automation and remote contaoll
- Completed：The remote data alarm and report system is finished. The data can be tracking via mobile phone apps via MOTT.
- Remain: Weekly assignment for CNC cutting. Because the CNC machine in my lab still need to be fixed. I will finish it on 9th July.
what’s working? what’s not?
- I think the most parts are working.
- Only the draft design for rotation mechanic is not design as my first idea.
what questions need to be resolved?
- I need to digger more to link the whole solution into home asistant networks.
what will happen when?
I would like to add my timeline and miletonens here.
Timeline and Milestones¶
| Phase | Week | Dates | Tasks | Milestones |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Planning and Ideas | Week 1 | May 6 - May 12 | - Define project objectives - Gather all necessary components - Install and configure the Arduino IDE - Research and choose the appropriate materials |
May 10: Complete initial preparation |
| Mechanical Design | Week 2 | May 12 - May 19 | - Prototype the 2D/3D design - Debug and optimize the 2D & 3D design - Assemble the mechanical parts |
May 17: Finalize the mechanical parts |
| Electronic Design | Week 3 | May 19 - May 26 | - Develop schematic design & PCB design - Manufacture the PCB boards - Test and debug the PCB boards |
May 23: Solve the PCB problems |
| Software Design | Week 4 | May 26 - June 2 | - Develop the sensor - Debug and refine code for MQTT publish - Optimize performance and power consumption |
June 1: Fully tested and debugged system |
| Finalization | Week 5 | June 2 - June 6 | - Finalize the function (software & hardware) - Organize the materials (videos & photos) - Prepare for final presentation and documents |
June 6: Project finalized and ready for presentation |
After the final project presentation, I will need to use two weeks to make the weekly assignment which i didnt finished before.
what have you learned?
- Website Editting: Its my first time to build the personal website.
- New Tools: I have learned lots of new tools like software for design.
- New Skills：I have learned lots of new skills like CNC milling etc.
In fact, I planned to sign up for the fabacademy course in 2022, but due to various reasons, I have been unable to do so. When I took this course in 2024, I felt that the whole course was not as simple as I imagined.
In fact, I feel that it is a pity that I did not meet more friends through fabacademy. I am looking forward to the opportunity of diversified exchanges with students from all over the world. I believe that the collision of different ideas will bring more possibilities for innovation.
