Projet management & Principles and Practices

OBJECTIFS

Projet management (part 1 of 2)
Work trought a git tutorial
Build a personal website describing me and my final project.
Upload parts 1 and 2, to the class archive

Principles and practices (part 2 of 2)
Sketched my final project idea(s)
Described briefly what it will do and who will use it

1. Project management

During this first week, I was able to discover the notion of "versioning" and a tool for implementing it: "GIT".
The aim of this approach is to be able to follow (and modify) the evolution of the site telling the story of my journey at Fabacademy.

No more multiple files for different versions of the same project, and hello versonning!

A. First step: install "GIT" and "Visual studio code".

First of all, you'll need to install GIT. You can find the installation file on the official website by following this link: https://git-scm.com/.
I use "visual studio code" as a text editor (to write my HTML, CSS and JQuery code). This program is free and can be downloaded at the following address: https://code.visualstudio.com/.

B. Working with GIT: starting from a blank page or from an existing GITLAB folder?

B.1. Starting from a blank page

I open the "GIT BASH" application. To use the terminal, I had to learn a few basic commands:
- cd (to move through the various folders)
- "dir" (to view existing folders)
- "mkdir" (to create a folder)

To initialize GIT and start versioning my folder, I use the command: "Git init".
A "git" folder is then created in my folder (to view it, make sure your hidden files are displayed).

B.2. "Git clone": strating from an existing folder

To start building my site from the basic template provided by fabacademy, I use the "git clone" command followed by the "https address" of my files on giblab (to copy it, go to the "code" tab on your page).

Time for HTML code - HTML basics

I modified a few HTML tags to create a basic template.
During this week, I only modified the basic elements of the site (footers, headers and body text).
Later, I'll modify the CSS code to make my site's design more attractive. I've identified a few inspiring templates. In particular, I'll be taking inspiration from the following template: "https://retrina.com/demo/arshia/arshia-plus/webdesigner-dark.html".

Versionning - the essential functions of GIT:

I've discovered the basic functions of GIT:
- Git status
- Git add
- Git commit
- Git push

Share locally created files on gitlab.

To share my files, I first need to create an SSH key. To do this, I use the "ssh-keygen" command.

This command generates an SSH key: to find it, go to the folder containing the pc user's name
(in my case: c:-->users -->user -->.ssh -->id_ed25519).
Once I've retrieved the SSH key, I can add it to my gitlab space (go to your account icon --> "edit profile" --> SSH Keys and add an SSH key).

Finally, I transfer my website with the "git push" command.

2. Principles and Practices

Draft : starting idea

I'd like to make a model for educational purposes.
The idea is to explain :
- the water cycle (by visualizing the different watercourses);
- identify cities (LEDs)
- geological zones

Computer-Aided Design (CAD)

OBJECTIFS

Model a possible project, compress my images and videos,
and post it on my class page

Modelled experimental objects/part of a possible project in 2D and 3D software
Shown how I did it with words/images/screenshots
Included my original design file(s)

Computer-Controlled Cutting

OBJECTIFS

group assignment:
do your lab's safety training
characterize your lasercutter's focus, power, speed, rate, kerf, joint clearance and types

group assignment:
cut something on the vinylcutter design, lasercut, and document a parametric construction kit,
accounting for the lasercutter kerf,
which can be assembled in multiple ways, and for extra credit include elements that aren't flat

Electronics Production

OBJECTIFS

group assignment:
characterize the design rules for your in-house PCB production process
individual assignment

make and test a microcontroller development board
extra credit: personalize the board
extra credit: make it with another process

3D Scanning and Printing

OBJECTIFS

group assignment
test the design rules for your 3D printer(s)

individual assignment
design and 3D print an object (small, few cm3, limited by printer time) that could not be made subtractively
3D scan an object (and optionally print it)

Embedded Programming

OBJECTIFS

Group assignment
Browse through the data sheet for your microcontroller
Compare the performance and development workflows for other architectures

individual assignment:
write a program for a microcontroller development board that you made,
to interact (with local input &/or output devices)
and communicate (with remote wired or wireless devices)
extra credit: use different languages &/or development environments
extra credit: connect external components to the board

Computer-Controlled Machining

OBJECTIFS

Group assignment
Complete your lab's safety training
Test runout, alignment, fixturing, speeds, feeds, materials and tool paths for your machine
Document your work to the group work page and reflect on your individual page what you learned

Individual assignment
Make (design + mill + assemble) something big

Electronics Design

OBJECTIFS

Group assignment
Une the test equipment in your lab to observe the operation of a microcontroller circuit board (as a minimum, you should demonstrate the use of a multimeter and oscilloscope)

I used this "input" to create a lock triggered using a badge with a set access code.
For this I used: an arduino nano, a small moetur, a lock operating using a 3D printed gear, led,...
