week 16 - System Integration

Design and document the system integration for your final project

detailed MIND MAP of my final project.

i have this this gantry wheel setup to test my dc motor + hall effect sensor encoder which is the main subsystem of my project. if this work i can control my wheel to any position i believe my PROJECT is 50% done. so what i have done is, i made this minimum wheel in the iWEEK 11 - INPUT DEVICES week to test the setup.

basically if i have done one wheel my whole project is copying it four times and integrating it with a master board.

packing is one another important part of system integration. we have to consider what materials, fabrication methods, and how we are going to integrate it finally.

Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part or assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design data. Construction of the part or assembly is usually done using 3D printing or "additive layer manufacturing" technology. Wikipedia

i want to integrate principles of rapid prototyping in my prototyping journey.so these are some areas i used techniques to get this doen fast and fail fast

this an area where i need to check whether the bearingfits correct. so instead of printing the whole wheel i just printed a ring with same proportions and checked the fit

n systems design, a fail-fast system is one that immediately reports at its interface any condition that is likely to indicate a failure. Fail-fast systems are usually designed to stop normal operation rather than attempt to continue a possibly flawed process.Wikipedia

a fail fast situation during working where i failed, iterated and succeeded finally.

this week seems like great LEARNING for my final PROJECT DEVELOPMENT .i feel like deep diving into these techniques and concepts.
